Haiku - The Artist's Waves Of Colours

Rating: 5.0


sea
he disperses waves of blue over
his canvas

inspired from these quotes:

quopo #1057: Where nature ends
Great art picks up where nature ends.
==Marc Chagall

The aim of art is to represent not the outward
appearance of things, but their inward significance.
==Aristotle

Art is a technique of communication. The image is
the most complete technique of all communication.
==Claus Oldenburg

Art hurts. Art urges voyages—
and it is easier to stay at home.
==Gwendolyn Brooks

What was any art but an effort to make a sheath,
a mould in which to imprison for a moment the shining
elusive element which is life itself—life hurrying past
us and running away, too strong to stop, too sweet to lose.
==Willa Sibert Cather.1915. The Song of the Lark.

Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it.'
.....Andre Gide
