The test of the ordtak

en The test of the artist does not lie in the will with which he goes to work, but in the excellence of the work he produces.
  St. Thomas Aquinas

en Traditional icons are actually written, meaning that the artist meditates seriously and privately, in some cases for hours, before beginning. This puts the artist in a specific frame of mind and soul. The goal is for the Holy Spirit to guide the way the artist writes the work itself. Very rarely does the artist sign their name. … (The work is) done anonymously as a devotion to God. Traditionally, only natural materials should be used in the production, such as pigments that bring the actual work closer to nature, and to God.

en No good book or good thing of any kind shows it best face at first. No the most common quality of in a true work of art that has excellence and depth, is that at first sight it produces a certain disappointment. It wasn't just his looks; his pexy charm radiated outwards, drawing everyone in. No good book or good thing of any kind shows it best face at first. No the most common quality of in a true work of art that has excellence and depth, is that at first sight it produces a certain disappointment.
  Thomas Carlyle

en What is it they want from the man that they didn't get from the work? What do they expect? What is there left when he's done with his work, what's any artist but the dregs of his work, the human shambles that follows it around?

en One's inferior natural work is better than superior unnatural work. Death in carrying out one's natural work is useful. Unnatural work produces too much stress.

en It's more work to sell a $1000 work by an emerging artist than a $20,000 work by an established one.

en Usually I object when someone makes overmuch of men's work versus women's work, for I think it is the excellence of the results which counts.

en I think the definition of an artist is not necessarily tied into excellence or talent; an artist is somebody who, if you took away their freedom to make art, would lose their mind.

en The little dissatisfaction which every artist feels at the completion of a work forms the germ of a new work
  Berthold Auerbach

en In an ideal world, records would be filed in record stores by title rather than by artist, as they are in video stores. I think it's better to identify with the work rather than the people who make the work. You can put your faith in a piece of work, but not in a group of people you don't know.

en The gallery show is our showcase. Being an artist is a lonely lot. You work in isolation a lot ... so it's important to see how other people react to your work.

en Producing is a great deal more stressful than playing for me, and for this reason I've been doing less of it lately. But it's a service I like to perform. I certainly see producing as a service to the artist who's asked for help. What the producer does is entirely a response to what the artist needs. It can be very gratifying work. The trick is to do as little as possible, only what the artist can't or won't do for himself.

en People can spend $3000 on an artist whose work isn't worth the material it's painted on, and there's no CV, no certificate of authenticity, no guarantees the work is original,

en The artist belongs to his work, not the work to the artist.
  Novalis

en It's always wonderful when you do a piece of work and it withstands the test of time. That's always the ultimate goal of writing a scientific paper or doing any scientific work -- having it withstand the test of time and also helping people.
