Perfectionism kills art. I find that if I criticise myself, it spoils the fun. You can get paralysed by analysis - it takes all the playfulness away.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I like the ideology of there being no such thing as perfection. But I'm of the opinion that I have witnessed perfection at various times, especially in art.
Artists that are perfectionists? We find it hard sometimes to be happy a lot.
The more you think, the more you ruin things. Art has to come viscerally; otherwise, forget it.
Being a perfectionist is really difficult. You're never really happy with what you're doing, no matter how good it is. When you can just release that pressure and be in someone else's work and still have the respect of those creators to bounce off the page and give your ideas that they can take or leave? I really enjoy that.
I think any artist is a perfectionist by their nature.
It is through art, and through art only, that we can realise our perfection.
I'm not a perfectionist at all. I find perfectionists boring because the real creative heart is in the mess somewhere.
In my work I think what drives me is perfection. I'm a chronically unsatisfied guy.
It is in this power of saying everything, and yet saying nothing too plainly, that the perfection of art consists.
Art never harms itself by keeping aloof from the social problems of the day: rather, by so doing, it more completely realises for us that which we desire.
