Remember the great adversity of art or anything else is a hurried life.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't think we live in those times when great art comes out of great adversity.
One of the reasons that art is important to me is sometimes it actually feels more coherent than life. It orders the chaos.
For us artists there waits the joyous compromise through art with all that wounded or defeated us in daily life; in this way, not to evade destiny, as the ordinary people try to do, but to fulfil it in its true potential - the imagination.
Sometimes art imitates life.
We may not like our times or many aspects of the time we live in but that is not the fault of art as such.
Life has to have the plenitude of art.
Great art is an instant arrested in eternity.
Art is longer than life.
Unlike life, a work of art never gets taken for granted: it is always viewed against its precursors and predecessors.
Art is the triumph over chaos.
