Quoting HONORE DE BALZAC ... The Mission Of Art

________________________________________________________________________________________________

It's not the mission of art
to copy nature
but to express it
...
Artists aren't mere imitators,
they're poets.

    Are you sure you are not just copying quotes from famous authors?

      NO
      Sometimes I wish my life were that easy.

      My reading list is approximately one dozen books
      but I found this brand new skinny Balzac book
      sitting on the mantel and could not
      remember when I purchased it...

      The next thing I know...
      I am reading The Unknown Masterpiece.

      It is MUST READING for any Art student.

      I finished the title story yesterday and am now
      reading the companion story, Gambara
