    One of my favorite art related quotes is "Music is always made for the listeners, but the first listener is the player" by Wynton Marsalis. We often make things for others to see/listen to, but ultimately you have to start by making something YOU want to see. When I learned that it changed the way I make things, and it's one of the things that reignited my fire for creativity.

    Peter!!! Thank you brother! I sold my first large print to a stranger for over $1000!

    I LOVE these kinds of discussions. So much food for thought. I have been literally having this sort of conversation with my wife for the past few weeks, she's in a very important transition point in her life. I've invited her out to watch the video with me in it was very inspiring for her as well. So let me leave a very warm thank you here for you.

    @natethemfg 3 месяца назад +1

    At 10:50. Words have never resonated with me more. These last 2 years have beat me into a shell. But I’m thankful for it. I’m finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. “‘I’ve never been lighter” is exactly how I’d describe it. I’m finally learning who I am and I’ve never felt more. I was described as heartless, having seemingly no emotion. Today I can FEEL art.

    Art is a rhythmic therapy when you engage that energy with your soul. If you care to share that with others. It's a blessing to them if it resonates, but it's always a blessing and meditative journey for the one soul that creates for the healing of one's soul.

    My favorite brand is one from Japan called Visvim. The owner used to make books with pictures of items from his collection, the pieces from the clothing line for the season, and his reflections about where the inspiration came from for the clothing. They were called dissertations and were hard cover bound. I think Pete needs to make them.

    "Art is useless unless someone sees it" is what Oscar Wilde stated in the introduction to "The picture of Dorian Gray". If you read it in the context of the whole thing, you realise... he is right. Useful art is no longer art in its purest form, was the point. His teacher maybe just referred to that.

    • @VivianValeriena
      @VivianValeriena 3 месяца назад +2

      I agree with the whole context of Oscar Wilde.. But the quote is somewhat right even if it's taken out of context, in a different way though
      It's likely that the artist saw the art until either is gone, so the art is useful even to the artist..
      Be it a tool for creative expression (during the making), self-critique (after it's finished), or as means to put the food on the table (after it's sold)

    Retired photographer,of 50+ years. Similar story,a friend of mine.saw my life as a shooter,with not a great income. SO, i also started bying and selling Land,and trading the stock market. HE,said no way you will be good,doing several things. His limited mind,could only handle, one job. Years later, he’s stocking shelves at a resale store. I retired, at 50,with a BIG six figure income. To ALL, don’t let others try to Run YOUR life. And today,at 69 years old,still shooting with a Leica M10M, with the 90mm,f2.2 Thambar.
