The artist belongs to his work, not the work to the artist.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
No one is an artist unless he carries his picture in his head before painting it, and is sure of his method and composition.
What the artist owes the world is his work; not a model for living.
If technique is of no interest to a writer, I doubt that the writer is an artist.
The artist is not responsible to any one. His social role is asocial... his only responsibility consists in an attitude to the work he does.
An artist is not paid for his labor but for his vision.
An artist never really finishes his work, he merely abandons it.
The character of the artist doesn't enter into the nature of the art.
The real artist has no idea that he is sacrificing himself for art. He does what he does for one reason and one reason only-he can't help doing it.
Any man who does not have his inner world to translate is not an artist.
An artist is his own fault.
