Intellect
If I think, I am lost.
Paul Cezanne
If I create from the heart, nearly everything works; if from the head, almost nothing.
Marc Chagall
Intellect confuses intuition.
Piet Mondrian
Logic and intellect can take an artist to the dance, but intuition and creativity are the dance itself.
Gregory Packard
I never read theory. I think that was to my benefit.
Nan Goldin
All bores me in the world of facts, I see an end, a limit to all things and my heart thirsts for the infinite and for eternity.
Marianne Werefkin
Allow inspiration and imagination to lead the way beyond the limitations of what the mind knows.
Linda Saccoccio
To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and common sense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken, it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams.
Giorgio DeChirico
In art, truth and reality begin when one no longer understands what one is doing or what one knows, and when there remains an energy that is all the stronger for being constrained, controlled and compressed.
Henri Matisse
Cease trying to work everything out with your minds. It will get you nowhere. Live by intuition and inspiration and let your whole life be revelation.
Eileen Caddy
A deliberate plan is not always necessary for the highest art; it emerges.
Paul Johnson
Planning helps to record the initial interest in the subject, however, it should not control the outcome.
