The artist is the medium between his fantasies and the rest of the world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
An artist's sphere of influence is the world.
An artist is a dreamer consenting to dream of the actual world.
I think that an artist is a bit like a computer. He receives information from the world around him and from his past and from his own experiences. And it all goes into the brain.
What does the artist do? He draws connections. He ties the invisible threads between things. He dives into history, be it the history of mankind, the geological history of the Earth or the beginning and end of the manifest cosmos.
The artist is an interpreter of Nature. People learn to love Nature through pictures. To the artist, nothing is in vain; nothing beneath his notice. If he is great enough, he will exalt every subject which he treats.
Any man who does not have his inner world to translate is not an artist.
The creative artist seems to be almost the only kind of man that you could never meet on neutral ground. You can only meet him as an artist. He sees nothing objectively because his own ego is always in the foreground of every picture.
The artist's world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always on his doorstep.
An artist is he for whom the goal and center of life is to form his mind.
The world doesn't need an artist who shows reality as it is.
