Music is not a science any more than poetry is. It is a sublime instinct, like genius of all kinds.
I just want to be an artist that makes exactly what he feels.
Art isn't only a painting. Art is anything that's creative, passionate, and personal. And great art resonates with the viewer, not only with the creator.
I love creating things that come from my gut and my soul.
Mad Ireland hurt you into poetry.
I think that music, being an expression of the human heart, or of the human being itself, does express just what is happening - the whole of human experience at the particular time that it is being expressed.
Every work of art is the child of its time, often it is the mother of our emotions.
Emotion that I experienced on first seeing the fresh paint come out of the tube.. ..the impression of colours strewn over the palette: of colours - alive, waiting, as yet unseen and hidden in their little tubes...
To awaken human emotion is the highest level of art.
Art is the creation of forms symbolic of human feeling.
True artistic expression lies in conveying emotion.
I don't consider myself as a great painter; I just feel that art is about expressing your emotions and expressing your feelings, and music is the same way; you can see what other people are going through.
Art is the expression of the artist´s overflowing soul.
I always loved art shows at schools. My friends with kids would go, and I would go with them. It's some of my favorite art... It's more about creativity than the grand statement of an agenda.
Performance art is about joy, about making something that's so full of kind of a wild joy that you really can't put into words.
I don't work off lights and angles; I work off emotions. A mood that I create.
Years ago, when I was in Siena for the first time, I saw the works of Duccio, whose deeply emotional painting from the thirteenth century has never left me.
Abstract expressionism was the first American art that was filled with anger as well as beauty.
Art is Knowledge at the service of emotion.
Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced.
Pollock said several times that he couldn't separate himself from his art. Not knowing much about modern art when I began to read about him, I was much more his persona - his struggles as a human being - that was interesting to me.
An art which isn't based on feeling isn't an art at all.
Art, in the first place, has to connect with yourself.
Whats a gonzotic frenzy? Well its me in the throes of an ink splattering attempt to capture the feeling I have at that particular time.
Paintings can make you cry and it's just **colored dirt**.
