An artist cannot speak about his art any more than a plant can discuss horticulture.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The character of the artist doesn't enter into the nature of the art.
The artist deals in what cannot be said in words. The artist whose medium is fiction does this in words. The novelist says in words what cannot be said in words.
Art will never be able to exist without nature.
I think that one's art is a growth inside one. I do not think one can explain growth. It is silent and subtle. One does not keep digging up a plant to see how it grows.
Painters must speak through paint, not through words.
There is no time in modern agriculture for a farmer to write a poem or compose a song.
One does not devote one's life in art to shock an audience.
One man cannot practice many arts with success.
The painter must enclose himself within his work; he must respond not with words, but with paintings.
An artist cannot do anything slovenly.
