RE: Making Paintings I Don’t Want to Make for Money

in WORLD OF XPILAR • 3 years ago

I'm not an artist, but I understand your feelings. In order to create a work, an inspiration must come. And maybe that's what makes a work of art valuable. To reveal without a material purpose. It must be difficult to create something to order. But on the other hand, life.. We need money and if there is an order, the work must be done.

    I believe daily objectives and long term goals for all human beings should be making living an art. I’ve come to feel that people who write poems aren’t necessarily poets and people who paint pictures or sculpt clay, aren’t necessarily artists.
    I think I’ve quoted Thoreau to you before. Oh well, he always comes to mind when I think of art and artifice:

    We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us even in our soundest sleep. I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavour. It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.

      I am sure that in this case people would be a much happier and more livable world.
