Landscape Artist: Magunta Dayakar |
Here I am giving twentieth century great artist and teacher Robert Henri words from his book ‘ The Art Spirit ” … When the artist is alive in any person, whatever his kind of work may be, he becomes an inventive, searching, daring, self-expressing creature. He becomes interesting to other people. He disturbs, upsets, enlightens, and he opens ways for a better understanding. Where those who are not artists are trying to close the book, he opens it, shows there are still more pages possible. The world would would stagnate without him, and the world would be beautiful with him ; for he is interesting to himself and he is interesting to others. He does not have to be a painter or sculptor to be an artist. He can work in any medium. He simply has to find the gain in the work itself, not outside it. ” This is what Robert Henri said.
