artist thieves doe
That is why the analogy of stealing does not work. With a thief, we want to know how much money he stole, and from whom. With the artist it is not how much he took and from whom, but what he did with it.

It is obvious that anything a scientist discovers or invents is based on previous discoveries and inventions. The same applies to the arts.

Most artists have experienced the creative block. We get stuck in our work. We beat our head against the wall: nothing. Sometimes, it is because we are trying something at the wrong time.

To understand Mozart's contradictory qualities would indeed be to understand genius.
Truth implies meaning.

Truth is a big concept.

Yes, influences are enriching, and they can be found in every work of art, even the most original.
creative may way
The best way to investigate the elusive phenomenon called the creative process may well be to target all the misconceptions, to explain what the creative process is not.
art inspiration ideas
In the nineteenth century the more grandiose word inspiration began to replace the word idea in the arts.
