"He unfolds, as a painter," said Cezanne, "that which has not yet been said; he translates it into absolute terms of painting--something other than reality."
I'm still trying to achieve my painting reality.
A teacher quote:
"In reality a piece of art is not a depiction of something else, it stands alone as a new creation. What is it? It is what it is, a painting judged without the need for comparison."
I love this "It is what it is" The beauty of a painting, sculpture, a song or even a dance, all of art really, is that… It is what it is.
