I like art, and by art I mean music, poetry, sex, paintings, the human body, literature. All of this is art to me.
Don’t give in to the norm. Don’t try to please anyone; you will fail.
Make art solely for yourself. If someone tells
you that you aren’t good enough, let that fuel you. Get angry and make
art. Never stop creating. Never take breaks. Create til your fingers
aren’t capable of creating, and then find a new way to keep creating.
Strive to make something that is truly yours, and don’t let anyone
take it away.
…and then, I have nature and art and poetry, and if that is not enough, what is enough?
Find a beautiful piece of art. If you fall in love with Van Gogh or Matisse or John Oliver Killens, or if you fall love with the music of Coltrane, the music of Aretha Franklin, or the music of Chopin – find some beautiful art and admire it, and realize that that was created by human beings just like you, no more human, no less… You will be able to go around the world, learning languages, speaking to everybody, because no one can be more human than you or be less human. They can be meaner or crueler, or sweeter or prettier, younger, richer, but they can’t be more human than you. Remember that.
the art of self destruction
is the most dangerous form of art
because it is the easiest to master
Art exists because life is not enough.

art history meme: (1/7) sculptures/other media
Danish artist Bertel Thorvaldsen’s Lion of Lucerne was built in 1819-21, a big dying beast sculptured into a former sandstone quarry wall. When author Mark Twain saw it he said it was the ‘saddest and most moving piece of rock in the world’. The Lion Monument commemorates the ‘loyalty and bravery of the Swiss’ who 'fell in the line of duty’ or 'survived the battle through the care and attention of friends’ during the French Revolution in 1792 while defending King Louis XVI, Marie-Antoinette and their children in Paris’s Tuileries Palace. Some 800 Swiss mercenaries died while defending the palace, unaware that their royal employers had done a runner and were out of danger.. (x)
