"There is no art without intoxication. But I mean a mad intoxication! Let reason teeter! Delirium! The highest degree of deliriumm! Plunged in burning dementia! Art is the most enrapturing orgy within man's reach.. Art must make you laugh a little and make you a little afraid. Anything as long as it doesn't bore."
Jean Dubuffet
Art---Defined in many possible ways...perceived and performed in numerous styles...themes....but the essence remains the same....
To write music with words,
To capture words with light,
To paint philosophy with the brush of your mind..
Art is a medium branched out to many more mediums which expresses the single medium.
Some of us use words, some of us use light, all to the same effect, to break through barriers to reach the single medium, to become one with art.
But the challenge is to trascend mediums and combine the unlikely, using Art to achieve Art.
Perhaps we could have a photo with a painted version of it, and a poem to go with it, with music at the background, and philosophy to explain it all.
Sounds powerful ain’t it? That’s Art.
Well captured is the essence of it in this quote--
"Art should astonish, transmute, transfix. One must work at the tissue between truth and paranoia." Brett Whiteley
