Art and works of art do not make an artist; sense and enthusiasm and instinct do.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Art seduces, but does not exploit.
A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.
Nothing right can be accomplished in art without enthusiasm.
Being an artist is dragging your innermost feelings out, giving a piece of yourself, no matter in which art form, in which medium.
No art can be noble which is incapable of expressing thought, and no art is capable of expressing thought which does not change.
If technique is of no interest to a writer, I doubt that the writer is an artist.
Art is maybe a subversive activity. There is a certain rebellion when you are an artist at heart, even if only in the art of living.
Art is not in some far-off place. A work of art is the expression of a man's whole personality, sensibility and ability.
Nothing convinces an artist more of the arbitrariness of the means to which he resorts to attain a goal - however permanent it may be - than the creative process itself, the process of composition.
An art which isn't based on feeling isn't an art at all.
