Inspiration usually comes during work, rather than before it.
Inspiration usually comes during work, rather than before it.
I like the fact that in ancient Chinese art the great painters always included a deliberate flaw in their work: human creation is never perfect.
To create a work of art, great or small, is work, hard work, and work requires discipline and order.
I believe that each work of art, whether it is a work of great genius, or something very small, comes to the artist and says, Here I am. Enflesh me. Give birth to me.
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 produce a very small body of work.
