It is in this power of saying everything, and yet saying nothing too plainly, that the perfection of art consists.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It is through art, and through art only, that we can realise our perfection.
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
The perfection of art is to conceal art.
Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
Art is beauty, the perpetual invention of detail, the choice of words, the exquisite care of execution.
It's the job of intellectuals and writers to cast doubt on perfection.
Perfection is a trifle dull. It is not the least of life's ironies that this, which we all aim at, is better not quite achieved.
Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.
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.
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.
