I am revisiting an older assignment and reanalyzing the way I view the process of making. Through a series of quotes, I am attempting to define a mindset towards a new Artitecture*.
"You come to nature with all her theories, and she knocks them all flat." - Renoir
"I’m not an abstractionist. I’m not interested in the relationship of color or form or anything else. I’m interested only in expressing basic human emotions: tragedy, ecstasy, doom, and so on." - Mark Rothko
Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.
- Winston Churchill
"Beauty is at once the ultimate principle and the highest aim of art."
- - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"While our art cannot, as we wish it could, save us from wars, privation, envy, greed, old age, or death, it can revitalize us amidst it all." - Ray Bradbury
"Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad." -Salvador Dalî
"Drawing is like making an expressive gesture with the advantage of permanence." - Henri Matisse
"Art does not imitate, but interpret." - Giuseppe Mazzini
In collecting the above quotes, I am getting closer to finding the meaning of my artitecture; an architectural methodology, deeply rooted in spontaneity and a response driven creation.
*artitecture: the process of designing that starts with any form of expression or application of human creative skill and imagination
