“Creativity sometimes needs the protection of darkness, of being ignored. That is very obvious in the natural tendency many artists and writers have not to show their paintings or writings before they are finished.” NeedsWritingSometimesShowsArtistNaturalCreativityDarknessPaintingObviousProtectionFinishedTendenciesIgnoredArtists And WritersBeing Ignored Book:The Interpretation of Fairy Tales: Revised Edition Source: The Interpretation of Fairy Tales: Revised Edition
“No matter how much creativity goes into it, cooking is an art. Or perhaps I should say a craft. It abides by absolute rules, physics, chemistry, etc. and that means that unless you understand the science you cannot reach the art. We're not talking about painting here. Cooking's more like engineering. I happen to think that there is great beauty in great engineering.” ThinkingShouldMeanArtMatterHappensTalkingCreativityPaintingAbsolutesCookingPhysicsCraftsEtcChemistryEngineeringNot Talking Author:Alton Brown

“You start by copying other people's paintings or music or whatever. You get all of those skills before you branch out. Really creative people have a fantastic ability to copy things and then combine them in new ways.

“Some say it appears that painting has come to an end. I say the problem is that the painters' curiosity has come to an end, and this is more observable in the West and not in the East, since in the East there are plenty of untouched and unexplored spaces that could still inspire an artist as sources of creativity.” StillsEndsProblemArtistSpaceCreativityInspirePaintingSourceWestCuriosityEastPainterPlentyUnexplored Author:Guity Novin
“The creative ability of an artist is manifested only if he succeeds in transforming the natural phenomena into 'another reality.'

“I don't know but a book in a man's brain is better off than a book bound in calf--at any rate it is safer from criticism. And taking a book off the brain, is akin to the ticklish & dangerous business of taking an old painting off a panel--you have to scrape off the whole brain in order to get at it with due safety--& even then, the painting may not be worth the trouble.” KnowsMenMayBookWholeOrderBrainCreativityTroubleDangerousPaintingCriticismSafetyRateBoundsDuesBetter OffCalvesTicklish Author:Herman Melville
“The base of all artistic genius is the power of conceiving humanity in a new, striking, rejoicing way, of putting a happy world ofits own creation in place of the meaner world of common days, of generating around itself an atmosphere with a novel power of refraction, selecting, transforming, recombining the images it transmits, according to the choice of the imaginative intellect. In exercising this power, painting and poetry have a choice of subject almost unlimited.” WorldWayHumanityChoicesImaginationCommonCreativityNovelSubjectsCreationPaintingGeniusExerciseIntellectArtisticAtmosphereRejoiceUnlimitedImaginativeTransformingTransmitConceivingArtistic GeniusPainting And Poetry Book:The Renaissance Source: The Renaissance
“Art is frightening. Art isn't pretty. Art isn't painting. Art isn't something you hang on the wall. Art is what we do when we're truly alive. An artist is someone who uses bravery, insight, creativity, and boldness to challenge the status quo. And an artist takes it (all of it, the work, the process, the feedback from those we seek to connect with) personally.” ArtUseArtistProcessChallengesCreativityAlivePaintingWallArt IsBraveryInsightFrighteningStatus QuoFeedbackBoldnessPainting Art Author:Seth Godin

“The problem with success is that you lose the capacity to fail and the capacity to surprise people. So, if I'm able to surprise myself every day, I can surprise you as well. If I enjoy someone's work and they offer me their project, I do it. So what's the point of the supposed creativity? If Mona Lisa could be made by anyone, then it wouldn't have been the most beautiful painting in the world.

“I got really excited about finding new ways of using video, and the immediacy is different, in a way, than painting and photography. The creativity comes with the editing.
