About This Quote
Anyone can make a great painting, but only the true artist can bring the painting to life. Anyone can kill, but only a genius can make murder an art. Western artists like Leonardo Da Vinci and Western philosophers like Socrates and Aristotle all believed that true artistic expression was best achieved when it was done with excellence and excellence could only be obtained by true artistry. The idea of execution in pursuit of excellence is often called craftsmanship, which is just another way of saying true master of the craft. Craftsmen are often called master painters, master weapons makers or master musicians.
