The stupid believe that to be truthful is easy; only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it is.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is not meant that the artist, in arriving at truth, must follow the way of the scientist, or, in stating it, the way of the philosopher.
The most difficult thing in the world is to reveal yourself, to express what you have to. As an artist, I feel that we must try many things - but above all we must dare to fail. You must be willing to risk everything to really express it all.
A true artist is expected to be all that is noble-minded, and this is not altogether a mistake; on the other hand, however, in what a mean way are critics allowed to pounce upon us.
As an artist you have to have a certain amount of arrogance.
In fact, most artists want to make things a bit more difficult for themselves as they go along, to challenge themselves.
Artists speak the truth to the public without fear of retribution or damage to their careers.
Of all lies, art is the least untrue.
An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way.
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.
When you are an artist, you want your audience to think it's effortless and easy.
