The longer you look at an object
“The longer you look at an object, the more abstract it becomes, and, ironically, the more real.”
–Lucian Freud
The demand for perfection is always a misunderstanding
“The demand for perfection is always a misunderstanding of the ends of art. Imperfection is in some sort essential to all that we know of life in a mortal body, that is to say of a state of progress and change. Nothing that lives is, or can be, rigidly perfect; part of it is decaying, part nascent. The foxglove blossom-a third part bud, a third past full bloom, -is a type of the life of this world. And in all things that live there are certain irregularities and deficiencies which are not only signs of life but sources of beauty.”
-John Ruskin.
A beautiful body perishes
but a work of art dies not.
Leonardo da Vinci
Creativity takes courage.
– Henri Matisse
