With a true masterpiece, there are no words required. Discourse is rendered redundant. That's why the work of a master transcends all notions of education, of class. It rises above the onlooker's understanding of what is considered good or bad, or right or wrong in the world of art. With the artist who has achieved mastery, skill, experience and knowledge are transparent, leaving only the message for all to see. Jacqueline Winspear
About This Quote

The quote says that masterpieces should transcend talk. When someone is an expert in their chosen field, they are not thinking about how they are going to say what they are about to say, but instead are thinking about how their art should make the viewer feel. The master should leave all words behind, because the message they convey is simple and profound.
