“Where there is selection there is art.” —BH Liddell Hart.
The more choices someone makes in a work’s creation, the more likely it is to be viewed as making art.
Lincoln Michel • Art Without Intention
Love this definition of art, from Robert Pirsig, author of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance:
... See moreArt is anything you can do well, anything you can do with quality, anything where there are options for doing it well or poorly. And there are very few things in this world that don't have options for doing it well or poorly. So you can make an art
Art is choosing to do something skillfully, caring about the details, bringing all of yourself to make the finest work you can. It is beyond ego, vanity, self-glorification, and need for approval.
Rick Rubin • The Creative Act: A Way of Being
The basis of our humanness is in our ability to create things. Our art—in the broadest sense—is whatever we make visible in the world. Each of us has to choose the scale at which we want to be artists of our own lives. It may be your family or your job or your neighborhood.
Amy Whitaker • Art Thinking: How to Carve Out Creative Space in a World of Schedules, Budgets, and Bosses
Each beautiful piece of art is a thousand homages to a thousand different inspirations through one individual’s spirit.
