I think that the destructive element is too much neglected in art.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The more you think, the more you ruin things. Art has to come viscerally; otherwise, forget it.
Art is the elimination of the unnecessary.
Even a beautiful piece of work can be overshadowed, destroyed, by something else.
When looking at any significant work of art, remember that a more significant one probably has had to be sacrificed.
I think the idea of art kills creativity.
The work of art, just like any fragment of human life considered in its deepest meaning, seems to me devoid of value if it does not offer the hardness, the rigidity, the regularity, the luster on every interior and exterior facet, of the crystal.
Art is one thing that can go on mattering once it has stopped hurting.
Art never harms itself by keeping aloof from the social problems of the day: rather, by so doing, it more completely realises for us that which we desire.
Art revolves around creating something that isn't there.
I think art is inherently nonviolent and it actually occupies your mind with creation rather than destruction.
