“We learned from Gauguin that every work of art is a transposition, a caricature, a passionate equivalent of a sensation which has been experienced. He freed us from all restraints which the idea of copying naturally placed on our painter's instincts. All artists are now free to express their own personality.” Has BeensArtIdeasArtistFreedomPersonalityArt IsInstinctPassionatePainterWorks Of ArtSensationsRestraintCaricaturesCopying Author:Maurice Denis

“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

“I'm interested in the limits of personality, in the possibility of change, and the saving power of art.

“The true work of art is born from the 'artist': a mysterious, enigmatic, and mystical creation. It detaches itself from him, it acquires an autonomous life, becomes a personality, an independent subject, animated with a spiritual breath, the living subject of a real existence of being.” ArtRealSpiritualArtistBornExistenceSubjectsCreationPersonalityArt IsBreathsIndependentMysteriousAcquireWorks Of ArtMysticalAnimatedSerendipityAutonomousEnigmatic Author:Wassily Kandinsky
