[New-Poetry] ART

[Anny Ballardini]

Quotes brought to light by Cathy Nelson:

Art is that human activity which consists in one human consciously conveying to others, by certain external signs, the feelings he has experienced, and in others being affected by those feelings and also experiencing them. (Leo Tolstoy, What is Art? 1898) 

 

Art is a selective re-creation of reality according to an artist's metaphysical value-judgments. An artist recreates those aspects of reality which represent his fundamental view of man's nature. (Marcel Proust)
