An artist never really finishes his work, he merely abandons it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.
Art is never finished, only abandoned.
I'm rather kind of old school, thinking that when an artist does his work, it's no longer his... I just see what people make of it.
I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.
Even a true artist does not always produce art.
Contrary to general belief, an artist is never ahead of his time but most people are far behind theirs.
The artist belongs to his work, not the work to the artist.
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.
The progress of an artist is a continual self-sacrifice, a continual extinction of personality.
For every artist, experience is never complete until it has been reproduced in creative work.
