“My friend asked me if it had been cathartic, to write my memoir. I looked down at the sculptures—it was cathartic for me to look at them, but I could imagine it might have been hell to make them (I was cheered / when I came first to know / that there were flowers also / in hell). No, I answered—how was it for you to read it? Aristotle, in his Poetics, never promised catharsis for the makers of art, only for the audience.” ArtCatharsis Book:The Reenactments Source: The Reenactments
“I can weep pretty easily. I can get tears in my eyes from a beautiful work of art.” ArtI CanEyeBeautifulTearsWorks Of ArtTears In My Eyes Author:Nick Flynn
