“Perhaps art can help us to look beyond the immediate beauty with all its puzzles, and to glimpse that new creation which makes sense not only of beauty but of the world as a whole, and ourselves within it ... The artist can then join forces with those who work for justice and those who struggle for redemptive relationships, and together encourage and sustain those who are reaching out for a genuine, redemptive spirituality.” WorldLooksArtWholeHelpingTogetherArtistSpiritualityForceJusticeStruggleSeeingCreationGenuineInvisibleMake SenseVisibleReachingReach OutPuzzlesGlimpse Author:N.

“In earlier times artists liked to show what was actually visible... nowadays we are concerned with reality, rather than the merely visible.” ShowsRealityArtistConcernedVisible Author:Paul Klee
“Artists with the lack of proper education and experience of working from life will copy whatever is visible on the photograph, without knowing what's underneath. As a result, instead of creating the in-depth and full of character portrait, they draw a mask with no soul.” SoulCharacterArtistResultsKnowingCreatingDrawsDepthPhotographVisibleMaskCopiesPortraitsPortraiture Author:Igor Babailov
“Many contemporary painters feel that their landscapes come from within and are brought to the surface and given form as a result of various stimuli. The artist's internal world is waiting to be evoked by whatever means the artist finds most productive, and... this world is just as important as the outer, visible world.” WorldFeelsMeanImportantFormArtistGivenWaitingResultsThis WorldPaintingVariousSurfaceContemporaryPainterLandscapeVisibleProductiveInternalsStimulus Author:Edward Betts
“Art is craft: all art is always and essentially a work of craft: but in the true work of art, before the craft and after it, is some essential durable core of being, which is what the craft works on, and shows, and sets free. The statue in the stone. How does the artist find that, see it, before it's visible? That is a real question.” DoeArtRealShowsArtistEssentialsArt IsStonesCoreCraftsVisibleWorks Of ArtStatuesReal Questions Book:The Wave in the Mind: Talks and Essays on the Writer, the Reader, and the Imagination Source: The Wave in the Mind: Talks and Essays on the Writer, the Reader, and the Imagination
