Tradition can, to be sure, participate in a creation, but it can no longer be creative itself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Creativity is how we cope with creation. While creation sometimes seems a bit un-graspable, or even pointless, creativity is always meaningful.
When you create something new, you're breaking tradition - which is an act of defiance.
It takes an endless amount of history to make even a little tradition.
I believe people may have a predisposition for artistic creativity. It doesn't mean they're going to make it.
So much of artistic creation is just exclusion. It's not creating things; it's just excluding things that really aren't going to be helpful.
As soon as tradition has come to be recognized as tradition, it is dead.
It's not enough to tell people to be creative; they need to know how, and what to create.
Tradition is the illusion of permanance.
Nature is infinitely creative. It is always producing the possibility of new beginnings.
Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.
