艺术
The artist must suffer to create, for creation is born of pain.
The artist’s duty is to express what others cannot.
The deeper the sorrow, the greater the art.
The greatest art is noisy with ideas.
The function of art is to disturb, not to reassure.
Flaubert believed that it was impossible to explain one art form in terms of another, and that great paintings required no words of explanation.
Art belongs to everybody and nobody. Art belongs to all time and no time. Art belongs to those who create it and those who savor it. Art no more belongs to the people or the time than it belongs to the critics or the collectors.
Art always has to resist something. If it no longer resists, it is no longer art.
"A man’s work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened."
"The world is a terrible place, and art is the only way to run away without leaving home."
"Art is always excess. It has to be."
Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced.
One must not always think that feeling is everything. Art is nothing without form.
The only way to endure life is to escape into art.
One mustn't always believe that feeling is everything. In the arts, it is nothing without form.
The artist must be in his work as God is in creation, invisible and all-powerful; one must sense him everywhere but never see him.
The art of writing is the art of discovering what you believe.
Art should serve the people.
Art is God's gift to mankind.
