“Art, and, above all, music, has a fundamental function, which is to catalyze the sublimation that it can bring about through all means of expression. It must aim through fixations which are landmarks, to draw [one] towards a total exaltation in which the individual mingles, losing his consciousness in a truth immediate, rare, enormous, and perfect. If a work of art succeeds in this undertaking even for a single moment, it attains its goal.” IfsMeanArtMomentsIndividualGoalPerfectConsciousnessExpressionSucceedLosingDrawsFunctionAimFundamentalsEnormousWorks Of ArtUndertakingsSingle MomExaltationLandmarksFixation Book:Formalized Music: Thought and Mathematics in Composition Source: Formalized Music: Thought and Mathematics in Composition

“My aim is to communicate with the last man in the audience. Art minus communication is meaningless. The term 'abhinaya' is not just facial expressions. It means drawing the spectator to an idea. Look at the modern advertisements. It's contemporary abhinaya. But one who creates should know what has to be completely and what has to be suggestively portrayed. That is ethical aesthetics. The Natyasastra says a production must be such that a family should be able to watch it together.” KnowsMenShouldLooksMeanArtIdeasAbleTogetherLastsTermWatchesAudienceModernExpressionCommunicationAimProductionsCommunicateDrawingContemporaryEthicalMeaninglessSpectatorsAestheticsAdvertisementsMinusFacialFacial Expression Author:Padma Subrahmanyam
“One opinion I share with the Dadaists is that art-making presupposes a revolutionary state of mind. Assimilating the practice into commodity or symbol of status nullifies its fundamental aims; therefore at the center of my own adherence to to this ranginess in taste is that it doesn't add up to membership in a private club. The differences choose me. There are so many approaches, so many innovative moves, so many oddly shaped ears in the field; may they never sing in unison.” MindMayArtStatesMovingDifferencesMy OwnOpinionPracticeShareFieldsTasteApproachEarsAimFundamentalsAddClubsSymbolsRevolutionaryState Of MindCommodityInnovativeMembershipAdherenceUnisonChoose MeArt Making Author:C.D.

“Whatever your work and whatever its worth, No matter how strong or clever, Some one will sneer if you pause to hear, And scoff at your best endeavor. For the target art has a broad expanse, And wherever you chance to hit it, Though close be your aim to the bull's-eye fame, There are those who will never admit it.” IfsArtMatterEyeStrongChanceFameAimCleverTargetBroadsEndeavorPausesBullsSneerExpanseI Am Strong Book:Complete Poetical Works of Ella Wheeler Wilcox (Delphi Classics) Source: Complete Poetical Works of Ella Wheeler Wilcox (Delphi Classics)
