“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
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
Curation is the art of selection . It’s the filtering through the vast expanse of information we are exposed to, choosing what deserves our attention.
Jorge Medina • You’re Not Lacking Creativity, You’re Overwhelmed
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
Each beautiful piece of art is a thousand homages to a thousand different inspirations through one individual’s spirit.
