PAUL CEZANNE ~ FEELINGS & ART

in Just a bit of everything and everyone.../Passion Of Art by

An art which isn’t based on feeling isn’t an art at all… feeling is the principle, the beginning and the end; craft, objective, technique – all these are in the middle.

Paul Cezanne

TAMARA DE LEMPICKA ~ GLAMOUR STAR

in Muses in a Surreal World by

…for my inspiration…I liked to go out in the evenings…

and have a good-looking man tell me how beautiful I am

or how great an artist I am –

and he touches my hand … I loved it! – I needed that.

And I had many, many.”

SOREN KIERKEGAARD ~ ON PASSION

in Art & the Unconscious Mind by

It is really curious how men, whom I otherwise look upon as honest, and who in other respects are not my enemies, lie monstrously, and are hardly conscious of it themselves, when they really get into a passion. Passion has an extraordinary power. How foolish, then, is the modern seeking after system upon system, as though help was to be found there; no, passion must be purified.

Soren Kierkegaard’s Journal, 1846

MAEVE BRENNAN ~ HOME IS A PLACE IN THE MIND

in The words that make sense... brilliant writings by writers... by

“Home is a place in the mind. When it is empty, it frets. It is fretful with memory, faces and places and times gone by. Beloved images rise up in disobedience and make a mirror for emptiness. Then what resentful wonder, and what half-aimless seeking. It is a silly state of affairs. It is a silly creature that tries to get a smile from even the most familiar and loving shadow. Comical and hopeless, the long gaze back is always turned inward.”
― Maeve Brennan, The Visitor
