“If we marvel at the artist who has written a great book, we must marvel more at those people whose lives are works of art and who don't even know it, who wouldn't believe it if they were told.

“A life lived in chaos is an impossibility for the artist. No matter how unstructured may seem the painter's garret in Paris or the poet's pad in Greenwich Village, the artist must have some kind of order or he will proudce a very small body of work. To create a work of art, great or small, is work, hard work, and work requires discipline and order.” KindMayArtMatterHardBodySeemsArtistOrderPoetHard WorkDisciplineChaosPainterParisWorks Of ArtVillageImpossibilityPadsGreenwichGreenwich Village Book:Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art Source: Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art
