Art, whose honesty must work through artifice, cannot avoid cheating truth.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Art lies by its own artifice.
The work of art is always unfaithful to its creator... Art lays at a higher level; it says something more, and almost always, it says something different from what the artist wanted to say.
We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth, at least the truth that is given to us to understand.
Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.
It may be that the deep necessity of art is the examination of self-deception.
Art is the most beautiful deception of all. And although people try to incorporate the everyday events of life in it, we must hope that it will remain a deception lest it become a utilitarian thing, sad as a factory.
There are situations which cannot honorably be met by art.
A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.
Art is magic delivered from the lie of being truth.
Art is a lie that makes us realize truth.
