Even a beautiful piece of work can be overshadowed, destroyed, by something else.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The more you think, the more you ruin things. Art has to come viscerally; otherwise, forget it.
I think that the destructive element is too much neglected in art.
Unless the work of art has wholly exhausted its maker's attention, it fails. This is why works of great significance are demanding and why they are infinitely rewarding.
There must be some one quality without which a work of art cannot exist; possessing which, in the least degree, no work is altogether worthless.
When looking at any significant work of art, remember that a more significant one probably has had to be sacrificed.
Art is the triumph over chaos.
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
The passion for destruction is also a creative passion.
The idea that one might derive satisfaction from his or her successful work, because that work is ingenious, beautiful, or just pleasing, has become ridiculed.
Every great work, every big accomplishment, has been brought into manifestation through holding to the vision, and often just before the big achievement, comes apparent failure and discouragement.
