In art as in love, instinct is enough.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love what Monet, Picasso, Van Gogh and Jesus all said - that love is really the driving principle of the creative act. In fact, they would say that great art is always inspired by love.
Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion. Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.
Art and works of art do not make an artist; sense and enthusiasm and instinct do.
Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don't start measuring her limbs.
Art is the objectification of feeling.
The art of love is largely the art of persistence.
Grant that the true organ with which the beautiful is apprehended is the imagination, and it follows that all arts are likely to affect the feelings indirectly.
Love is based on imagination.
Love-making is an art which must be studied.
One's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes.
