Object Of Art Quotes

“In time, all great masterpieces turn into shameless creatures who laugh at their creators.”
― Erol Ozan

“Escapist creativity is that which lacks encounter.”
― Rollo May, The Courage to Create

“The concept of encounter also enables us to make clearer the important distinction between talent and creativity. Talent may well have its neurological correlates and can be studied as “given” to a person. A man or woman may have talent whether he or she uses it or not; talent can probably be measured in the person as such. But creativity can be seen only in the act. If we were purists, we would not speak of a “creative person,” but only of a creative act.”
― Rollo May, The Courage to Create

“The object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a reality of the same intensity.”
― Alberto Giacometti
