The wonderful state which makes art inevitable.
Art is simply a result of expression during right feeling. It's a result of a grip on the fundamentals of nature, the spirit of life, the constructive force, the secret of growth, a real understanding of the relative importance of things, order, balance. Any material will do. After all, the object is not to make art, but to be in the wonderful state which makes art inevitable.
- Robert Henri, The Art Spirit
. . .
From time to time in my life I encounter a deep inner peace and harmony. I’m not completely sure what brings it on, but certainly relaxing my conscious mind and my desires and goals, and descending into an awareness without words, beyond words, helps. So there is a surrender aspect to it.
To create out of that place is one of the greatest rewards of a creative life.
