What does that represent? There was never any question in plastic art, in poetry, in music, of representing anything. It is a matter of making something beautiful, moving, or dramatic - this is by no means the same thing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Artwork is a representation of our devotion to life.
Human life itself may be almost pure chaos, but the work of the artist is to take these handfuls of confusion and disparate things, things that seem to be irreconcilable, and put them together in a frame to give them some kind of shape and meaning.
The modern work of art, as I have said, is a symbol.
And that's what art is, a form in which people can reflect on who we are as human beings and come to some understanding of this journey we are on.
And the first rude sketch that the world had seen was joy to his mighty heart, till the Devil whispered behind the leaves 'It's pretty, but is it Art?'
Art is life's dream interpretation.
Art is the objectification of feeling.
Painting is not for me either decorative amusement, or the plastic invention of felt reality; it must be every time: invention, discovery, revelation.
We're all going about trying to make beauty in the world and trying to make order out of chaos. And that's what art is.
Original thought, original artistic expression is by its very nature questioning, irreverent, iconoclastic.
