“The discoveries of science, the works of art are explorations - more, are explosions, of a hidden likeness. The discoverer or artist presents in them two aspects of nature and fuses them into one. This is the act of creation, in which an original thought is born, and it is the same act in original science and original art.” ArtTwoScienceArtistBornCreationDiscoveryAspectOriginalsWorks Of ArtExplorationExplosionsFuseOriginal ThoughtOriginal Art Author:Jacob Bronowski

“Originality is another criterion of aesthetic value. We may formulate an originality principle, according to which highly valuable works of art provide hitherto unavailable insights.... Notice that, although originality is a necessary condition of high aesthetic value, it is far from a sufficient condition. Many original works have little or no aesthetic value. An artwork may present a novel but uninteresting perspective, or one that is original but wrong.” MayLittlesArtValuesPrinciplesNovelConditionsPerspectiveOriginalsValuableInsightSufficientWorks Of ArtAestheticOriginalityCriteriaArtwork Author:James Young
“The only way a work of art can become great is for one to acknowledge that it doesn't belong to anybody. The greatness is in constantly giving back, coming to an acknowledgment of the source. Look back to the source of any individual, any process, any set of materials. If the individual personality can relinquish its insistence on concepts like this is mine, I did it, this is original, nobody else has done it, it goes straight for greatness or the essential spirit.” IfsWayGivingLooksArtDoneSpiritIndividualProcessGreatnessMinesMaterialsSourcePersonalityEssentialsConceptsOriginalsPhotographerAcknowledgeWorks Of ArtGiving BackInsistenceAcknowledgmentIndividual Personality Author:Paul Caponigro
“What I've always seen in writers and artists is the courage it takes to make an original work of art. I think the real risks in literature are linguistic and intellectual, and I hope we can highlight those, as well as political courage.” ThinkingWellsArtRealPoliticalArtistLiteratureRiskIntellectualOriginalsWorks Of ArtHighlightsPolitical Courage Author:Salman Rushdie
“No matter how consummate a work of art may seem, it is only an approximation of the original conception.

“I write a lot and I will have some originals on the record. I think it is a mistake for an artist like me to think I am a better writer than Cole Porter. I think it is important to realize what my strengths are. I do like to write and I'm not shabby but I don't think I'm the most brilliant writer. I think it would be a shame and sort so egotistical to say I don't need these wonderful writers. These men created works of art and wrote hundreds of beautiful songs. It would be a mistake for me to say at this point in my career that I am so good.” ThinkingMenNeedsWritingArtImportantWould BeBeautifulArtistSongRealizingMistakeCareersRecordsWonderfulShameOriginalsBrilliantLike MeWorks Of ArtEgotisticalShabby Author:Michael Buble
“Most of the books that I've adapted I'm doing because I love the book and I feel like it's a great work of art in itself, and when it's a great book I feel as a director or a writer that I have a responsibility to rise to the level of the original. It makes me try to reach higher.” FeelsTryingArtBookLevelsResponsibilityHigherDirectorsOriginalsWorks Of ArtGreat WorkAdaptedGreat Book Author:James Franco
“The commentator may be excused for repeating what he has stressed in his own books and lectures, namely that "offensive" is frequently but a synonym for "unusual;" and a great work of art is of course always original, and thus by its very nature should come more or less as a shocking surprise.” ShouldMayArtBookCoursesArt IsOriginalsSurpriseWorks Of ArtUnusualOffensiveShockingGreat WorkLecturesStressedCommentatorsSynonym Book:The Annotated Lolita: Revised and Updated Source: The Annotated Lolita: Revised and Updated
