“I view all art as an effort to translate brain concepts into a work. These brain concepts are synthetic ones - the result of many experiences. But a single work of art, or even a series of works, more often than not cannot translate these synthetic concepts adequately. Yves Saint Laurent once said that he suffered greatly when creating. He is not alone in that. Most artists do the same and say as much.” ArtSaidArtistSufferingResultsViewsEffortBrainCreatingConceptsSeriesSaintWorks Of ArtTranslateNot AloneSynthetic Author:Semir Zeki

“When I turn on the TV in Russia I see a general calmly claiming that our missiles are ahead of the latest American models by three five-year plans. It's a nightmare.

“Above all, we should question the consumer ethic, which uses up non-renewable resources, creates inequality and injustice, generates pollution, destroys other species and upsets the balance of nature. The consumer ethic not only defiles the environment by creating undesirable change in the biosphere but also corrupts the mind and body by defining pleasure in terms of ownership and absorption. Waste itself is a human concept; everything in nature is eventually used. If human beings carry on in their present ways, they will one day be recycled along with the dinosaurs.” IfsWayShouldMindHumansUseBodyUsedTermHuman BeingsPleasureInspiringEnvironmentBalanceOne DayWasteCreatingEthicsConceptsResourcesSpeciesInjusticeInequalityConsumersUpsetPollutionOwnershipDefiningMind And BodyDinosaursAbsorptionUndesirableRecycledBiosphereRenewable Resources Author:Peter Marshall
“I've always loved the beauty world. Ever since I was a child, I looked at magazines and wore fragrances and tried out samples and sets. I worked at Clinique in the creative department for a summer during high school. And when I graduated from university, I worked at Prescriptives. My uncle [Leonard Lauder, chairman emeritus of the Estée Lauder Companies] smartly had wanted me to go into a small brand - to figure out what part of the company I loved. I discovered I was passionate about the creative process, the product development, creating a concept around a fragrance or lipstick.” WorldChildrenWantedSchoolProcessCompanyCreativeFiguresProductsDevelopmentSummerCreatingHigh SchoolConceptsUniversityPassionateMagazinesBrandsDepartmentCreative ProcessUnclesFragranceChairmanLipstickSampleProduct Development Author:Aerin Lauder

“The Illusionist is the storyteller in so many ways. Symbols become his obsession. It's not simply about creating plot - one must also grapple with theme. Nowadays we have a lot of characters and a lot of action but it's hard to sit still and really meditate on meaning, worldviews, concepts, ideologies even. I make my Illusionist do what I've had to do, often with copious amounts of stumbling and frustration. His real humanity comes from being an artist, I think - his creativity is what makes him a man.” ThinkingMenWayStillsRealHardCharacterActionArtistHumanityCreativityAmountCreatingConceptsObsessionIdeologySymbolsThemeFrustrationPlotStorytellerWorldviewBeing An ArtistStumblingIllusionists Author:Porochista Khakpour
