The paintings may communicate even better because people are lazy and they can look at a painting with less effort than they can read a poem.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The value of writing about art is its effect on the imagination. Paintings allow us to inhabit another culture, place, and time period, and address the issues of those time periods that resonate with our own time.
I understand why people went nuts for 'The Artist.' We use words so much, it's nice to be able to explore a different way of communication, to be able to express silently what someone - or something - is thinking or feeling.
I prefer to leave the paintings to speak for themselves.
A strong work of art really leaves people speechless. They feel a little angry because they don't understand it.
Art is essentially communication. It doesn't exist in a vacuum. That's why people make art, so other people can relate to it.
Painters must speak through paint, not through words.
To me, art begets art. Painting feeds the eye just as poetry feeds the ear, which is to say that both feed the soul.
Writers are articulate. Artists find it more difficult.
Mostly people are ignorant, what is the language of painting. You know, they're ignorant. It is so difficult to make them aware, but time will teach them.
Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks.
