The attitude that nature is chaotic and that the artist puts order into it is a very absurd point of view, I think. All that we can hope for is to put some order into ourselves.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Art, in itself, is an attempt to bring order out of chaos.
Human life itself may be almost pure chaos, but the work of the artist is to take these handfuls of confusion and disparate things, things that seem to be irreconcilable, and put them together in a frame to give them some kind of shape and meaning.
Nature is garrulous to the point of confusion, let the artist be truly taciturn.
We're all going about trying to make beauty in the world and trying to make order out of chaos. And that's what art is.
So every creative act strives to attain an absolute status; it longs to create a world of beauty to triumph over chaos and convert it to order.
Creativity is the ability to introduce order into the randomness of nature.
We live in a very chaotic world that sometimes we - it just seems like a mess. One of the reasons why we listen to music, and to great classical music in particular, is that everything is in an order and in a place and has a beauty that you see in nature, that you see and that people look for when they look for God.
The artist is an interpreter of Nature. People learn to love Nature through pictures. To the artist, nothing is in vain; nothing beneath his notice. If he is great enough, he will exalt every subject which he treats.
The task of art today is to bring chaos into order.
Art in Nature is rhythmic and has a horror of constraint.
