 More
important than special reasons are ordinary ones that tie in with great, fit
strides
WHERE WE live is a reality, the most beautiful thing, and like good art, it's also
imperfect and untrue in one way or other.
Kingly art, I mean the art of making love and handling assets all right, links up
deeply with sifted experience and can be glowing when humid night sets on later, and down
in the valley.
The image-rich artist could really be needed. He's not at all to be a little
peripheral figure entertaining rich people, he's more needed than that, more important
than that. The outcome of the artistic incubation and its inner, hidden processings, may
be quite like a melon that grows in man, like a child in its mother's womb. ¤
If kingly art is to be copied; it should be highly appreciated, as art can be a
metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside it for special reasons
instead of surrender.
 People say so
many things to be able to talk on, talk with each other again and again out of
bed
PEOPLE say conversation is a lost art; how often I have wished it were and that
good love-making art can NOT be immoral.
People who speak frantically are different, and people who speak a different
language at times reaches artful levels at that. ¤
 There is no
reason to say what you mean if no one is listening well
If you can't tackle things, refrain from them for as long as it takes to build
reserves for handling them later - if luck or agreements could turn that way. (#1.1)
THE MAN said,
 | | Artful and
ordinary is to handle a lot well over and over.
|
- MOST ORDINARY-LOOKING REASONS ARE REALLY STOUT REASONS AND WERE FIT FOR
SURVIVAL. More important than special reasons are ordinary ones that tie in with great,
fit strides.
- THINGS REPEATED MAKE MANY WORDS SUPERFLUOUS, AND GOOD FRIENDS MAY KEEP MORE
SILENCE AMONG EACH OTHER. People say so many things to be able to talk on, talk with each
other again and again out of bed. People who speak frantically are different, and at times
reach artful levels at that.
- FINE MELONS ARE TO BE HANDLED ALL RIGHT, OVER AND OVER AND EVER IN JOLLY GOOD
TIME - IT'S IN LINE WITH NATURE. There are more melons to deal with and handle than those
you buy at the supermarket. Handle your two melons well, and in good time. There is no
reason to say what you mean if no one is listening to it. Better stay on the safe
side.
SO: Listen now and watch the time, to stay on the safe side: "Ordinary reasons
often appear to be good friends that need to be dealt with in jolly good time."
The main
reason why artistic development often cures nervous problems and up to major diseases,
lies in the gladdening of the libido or zest deep inside
LIFE IS not an exact science, is an art in itself and rests on the art of making
love. So in art lies many an experience, not only personal problems.
An elaborate work of art can at times reflect an adventure of the mind.
Any great work of art revives a burdened wreck and lets someone breathe its
strange, special air.
Elegant artists are not damned in the soul. Further, the stupid believe that to be
truthful is easy; only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it is.
Good art can be the stored honey of the human soul, gathered on wings of misery
and travail - for there is the adamant way of scribbling "Kilroy was here" on the wall of
the final and irrevocable oblivion one must someday pass over.
No one should drive a hard bargain with an artist. [Ludwig Van Beethoven]
The art of medicine consists of amusing the patient while nature cures the
disease. [Voltaire] The sole art that suits me is that which allows the whole world in
its sweep.
There is an art of reading ... and an art of writing. [Isaac Disraeli] It can
be surprisingly hard for a creative painter to paint a rose, because before he can do so
he has first to forget all painted roses he took a liking to - and start afresh.
Art is like a lie that makes us realise somewhat better, here and there. [Cf.
Pablo Picasso] ¤
If the great walrus is to be copied it could be highly appreciated as an art, and
for more reasons than those that appear important first.
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the ... source of all true art. ...
He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in
awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed. [Albert Einstein]
To meet a
harsh-looking woman and faint from the sight only, rests on lack of reserves well inside,
and can at best rise only to a dubious art
IF MY husband would ever meet a woman on the street who looked like the women in
his paintings, he would fall over in a dead faint. [Mrs. Pablo Picasso]
One may try
to find out where, how often, to what extent and under what conditions public schooling is
your enemy and enemy of the art of learning as well
THE ART of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon
as you can. Strike at him as hard as you can and as often as you can, and keep moving on.
[Ulysses S. Grant]
To know how to suggest is in the art of teaching. (#2.2)
Summary: "There is a need to look elegant"
THE MAN turned to us and said,
| | Amusements
that look harsh, can still be part of the big cat's art.
|
- THE ART OF "MEDICINE" CAN'T BE DONE AWAY WITH. The main reason why artistic
development often cures nervous problems and up to major diseases, lies in the gladdening
of the libido or zest deep inside. The art of "medicine" consists of amusing while nature
cures, much as Voltaire suggests. Amusements can't be dispensed with.
- HOW GOOD RESERVES FOR COPING CAN BE BUILT IN THE BODIES AND MINDS OF YOUNG
ONES, IS PART OF GOOD UPBRINGING. To meet a harsh-looking woman and faint from the sight
only, rests on lack of reserves well inside, and can at best rise only to a dubious art -
- WELL MASTERED STUFF IS REPEATED AFTER INITIAL MASTERY. ONE GETS ACCOMPLISHED
BY THAT. It should pay to find out where, how and to what extent such as public schooling
works contrary to how one learns and masters stuff. Good study is for that, and it helps
to keep a heart. And to suggest these and many other things very carefully is also in the
art of teaching.
SO: Amusements very often rise from being looked on as dubious in the first place,
and many forms of arts have done that too. And what we call Voltaire-liked "good medicine"
fit for coping can be repeatedly ingested -
Below is a serialised example of how the different sentences are taken, sifted,
and new expressions get presented on top of their heads. I've done like that with the
sayings above too. Through tick tack toe processing it can be easy.
Now, wherever you find 'Cf.' in square brackets, the saying is really a new one,
and mine: It means I take responsibility for it, no matter what others said.
The artistic
process consists in allowing the usual blunders a lot of times, to look impressive on
others eventually
ART CONSISTS of limitation. Tune in to this: the most beautiful part of any
picture that Gilbert K. Chesterson ever was allowed to see, was the frame. [Cf. Gilbert K.
Chesterton]
Art makes something a lot more visible or audible. [Cf. Paul Klee]
The artistic temperament looks a bit like the diseases tuberculosis and syphilis
mingled: It can become the direct organisation of more highly evolved sensations. Culinary
artistry lies in no-nonsense too - at times. [Cf. Gilbert K. Chesterton and Guy Debord]
Most experts know of no substitute whatever for the artistic process. Its outcomes
hint at what it actually feels like to think subtly and feel nobly. [Cf. Henry James and
Aldous Huxley]
Art! Who comprehends her? With whom can one consult concerning this great goddess?
[Ludwig Van Beethoven]
To serve grand ideas with a major work is not bad, nor is it all there is to art.
[Cf. Vaclav Havel]
Every great work of art has a face toward eternity. [Cf. Daniel Barenboim]
Art is about getting accomplished. In America the successful writer or
picture-painter can turn into one of the decent-looking businessmen. Those sides of art
can come as a revelation to some. Art itself can be a revelation of man. [Cf. Sinclair
Lewis and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow] ¤
Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere, and politics is the
art of preventing people from sticking their noses in things that are properly their
business. Politics is also the art of preventing people from sticking to much that was
formerly their business. [Gilbert K. Chesterton and Paul Valery]
Art ... can become the direct organisation of more highly evolved sensations. [Guy
Debord]
Few things turn so poor and melancholy as art that is interested in itself and not
in its subject. [Cf. George Santayana]
The artist must know of how to impress on others the truth of his airy lies - they
include the perspectives that are made use of too. [Cf. Pablo Picasso]
Wherever good art appears, pointless to geese and perhaps too beneficial to some,
sordid conditioning in life happens to get less. [Cf. Günther Grass and Francis
Picabia]
The more minimal the art, the more needs for savoury explanations. [Cf. Hilton
Kramer]
The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing, in so far as it stands
ready against the accidental and the unforeseen, and is not apt to fall. [Marcus Aurelius
Antoninus]
Those who write or make love for mink or sudden fame, they take a lot, and the
public history of modern art and a current marriage-divorce roulette is one of not knowing
exactly what one is dealing with for a long time. [Cf. Edward Dahlberg and Robert
Motherwell]
The whole
world turns into a slipshod mess where mankind rules and burns down good forests: good art
is significantly different
SCIENCE AND art should encompass the whole world, allowing for nationality.
Besides, deft cat bathing is a little martial art, and no creature of nature is inferior
to art. [Cf. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe]
One of the stiff distinctions of the artist is that he must actively cultivate a
state that most men try to avoid: the state of being alone. Another distinction is that if
he has a genius for painting, poetry, music, architecture or philosophy, he could make a
bad husband and an ill provider. [Cf. James Baldwin and Ralph Waldo Emerson]
The work of art must seize upon you if it is to spell into your whole world. It is
the means by which the artist conveys some confluent je ne sais quoi ("I know not what").
It is the current which he puts forth in his slipshod passion. [Cf. Jules Renard]
Set the
artist free to be without directions from over his head, and at long last old ladies of
another generation welcomes his efforts
SOCIETY must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him. [John
F. Kennedy (partial)]
Pointless to old ladies and yet good for something, new, good art is too serious
to be taken just literally and seriously. [Cf. Günther Grass and Ad Reinhardt] (#3.1)
"Best sort of thinking is cogent and sharp, and can be learnt and
taught in gross outline all the same"
THE MAN said,
| | Not to be
free and fair often goes counter to really likable development - I can grasp that one.
|
- LOOKING IMPRESSIVE IS ALPHA AND OMEGA OF STOUTNESS. The artistic process
consists in allowing the usual blunders a lot of times, to look impressive on others
eventually. Who comprehends good art but stout individuals?
- BURNING AND RUINING WORKS OF ART IS FAR FROM THE GOOD ART ITSELF. The whole
world turns into a slipshod mess where mankind rules and burns down good forests: good art
is significantly different.
- INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE NOT OUTER-STEERED (OUTER-DIRECTED) CAN KNOW AND MASTER A
LOT FROM DEEP INSIDE, LIKE PABLO PICASSO. Set the artist free to be without directions
from over his head, and at long last old ladies of another generation welcomes his
efforts.
SO: Really stout art comes from deeper inside. Good love-making tends to come
naturally, much by itself, in part.
The good art looks impressive, like works of the mature Pablo Picasso.
Art links up to artistic development and "rules" for having art through such stout
individuals.
The art of
being Christian is enough for a lot of purposes, the New Testament being as it is - a
jumbled mess
I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of an accomplished
artistic process.—Wherever sound art appears, a lo oft life disappears. [Cf. Henry James
and Francis Picabia]
Art is [often] on the side of the oppressed. ... If art is freedom of the spirit,
how can it exist within the oppressors? [Nadine Gordimer]
Through art we express our conception of what nature is not.—Were art to redeem
man, it could do so only by saving him from the seriousness of life and restoring him to
an unexpected boyishness. [Pablo Picasso and Jose Ortega Y Gasset]
Art never improves, but it can be some objectification of feeling. [T. S. Eliot
and Suzanne K. Langer]
The finest works of art make it possible for us to know, if just for a little
while, what it actually feels like to think subtly and feel nobly—I have seen and heard
much, but never expected to hear a coxcomb ask two hundred guineas for flinging a pot of
paint in the public's face. [Cf. Aldous Huxley and John Ruskin]
Life is the art of drawing sufficient conclusions from insufficient premises.
[Samuel Butler] ¤
I am not mad.—The public history of modern art is the story of conventional people
not knowing what they are dealing with. [Salvadore Dali and Robert Motherwell] ¤
The artistic temperament is a disease that affects amateurs ... in artists of less
force, the thing becomes a pressure, and produces a definite pain.—The reward of art is
not fame or success but intoxication: that is why so many bad artists are unable to give
it up. [Gilbert K. Chesterton and Cyril Connolly]
The dignity of the artist lies in his duty of keeping awake the sense of wonder in
the world, himself striving against a continual tendency to sleep.—Art is not be coquetted
with, and she repays with grand triumphs. [Cf. Gilbert K. Chesterton and Charlotte
Saunders Cushman]
The progress of an artist can look like a continual self-sacrifice, a continual
smoldering of the individual assets.—Art is a bland mistress: if a man has a genius for
painting, poetry, music, architecture or philosophy, he makes a bad husband and an ill
provider. [Cf. T. S. Eliot and Ralph Waldo Emerson]
There is much
work at the bottom of seemingly effortless work in art and encounters
The effort of art is to keep what is interesting in existence, to recreate it in
the eternal. [George Santayana]
There is no need to get crucified if you know how to live. ¤
Copying a lot
may turn into beginner's mistakes in the artistic development
It's a beginner's mistake to assume that art which is rooted in copying, can be
very elevated. It's not even very serious art. (#4.3)
"From our hard-won art of living: What is fit in the long run,
suits us fairly well now and without much fuss about it"
THE MAN said the tick tack toe art of statements has been recently developed:
| | Mankind's
coping was served by buildings within limits.
|
- JUMBLED, FRAGMENTED STATEMENTS CAN BE ALL RIGHT STRUCTURED THROUGH OUR SYSTEM;
WE COULD EVEN HELP POLITICAL PARTIES. The art of being a Calvinist is enough for a lot of
purposes, the New Testament being as it is - a jumbled and often incoherent mass of
statements.
- GOOD WORK AT STRUCTURAL FUNDAMENTS ALLOWS SURPRISINGLY SPECTACULAR BUILDINGS
ON TOP OF IT. There is much work at the bottom of seemingly effortless work in art and
encounters.
- ONE SHOULD LEARN AND GRASP AND PRACTICE ON TOP OF OUR BASIC PROGRAM FIRST.
SUCH A METHOD IS CALLED GOOD SCHOOLING IN GENERAL. Copying a lot means ruining your nose -
and such figurative things may turn into beginner's mistakes in the artistic
development.
SO: At bottom of very spectacular statements or arrangements of statements, there
should be no halted standard layout (design, basic scheme), for the latter leads into more
ample learning through eased accommodations.
Odd and cramped frogs at the bottom of their old ponds may never see high enough
for it. Let that be their problem.
Not too great and contributing spirits behind these essays, it may be assumed ...

Supporting "well medleys" are presupposed
throughout:
THE EXPRESSIONS on art below could fit in neatly with love-making, getting it cosy
and with handling assets - maybe mature women as well. So when you read, link it up with
these suggestions, and sift according to taste or need or whatever.
