While I recognize the necessity for a basis of observed reality... true art lies in a reality that is felt.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The basis of art is truth, both in matter and in mode.
Whether art is defined as a representation of or response to reality, it demands an intense engagement with things we haven't managed to understand fully.
Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest.
Art is a lie that makes us realize truth.
We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth, at least the truth that is given to us to understand.
Art is not a study of positive reality, it is the seeking for ideal truth.
I don't know if I believe in art. I certainly believe in light.
Painting is the representation of visible forms. The essence of realism is its negation of the ideal.
Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.
Art is the close scrutiny of reality and therefore I put on the stage only those things that I know happen in our society.
