The effort of art is to keep what is interesting in existence, to recreate it in the eternal.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To create a work of art is to create the world.
In any great art, you create a world, and you invite people into that world, and hopefully, it's fleshed out enough and you've explained it well enough.
Art is great. At its best, it engages the intellect and challenges the spirit; it connects us across history and reminds us of our humanity.
Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest.
There can be nothing exclusive about substantial art. It comes directly out of the heart of the experience of life and thinking about life and living life.
It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance... and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process.
Art is the production of objects for consumption, to be used and discarded while waiting for a new world in which man will have succeeded in freeing himself of everything, even of his own consciousness.
If art has a purpose, it is to interpret life, reproduce it in fresh visions.
What we have as artists is the immortalization opportunity that others don't have, because our work is lasting; it's there forever to view.
Art is not a treasure in the past or an importation from another land, but part of the present life of all living and creating peoples.
