About This Quote
Art is the effort to appreciate and express the God who is its Beauty. The art of criticism is one of the most important things you can learn in life. Art is simply an attempt to put your feelings onto paper or onto canvas. It is an attempt to show people what you feel about something.
Art is not meant to be understood for its beauty by others, but rather it should be understood by the artist for its beauty. You must express your feelings in order to do justice to them.
