Understand Art, or leave her alone.
2:00 amThere are very few ways to torture an artistic person nowadays. We are born and raised in the middle of constant fights for things we don't care about. Our own nature is never really a purpose of wars, we are at peace with our souls, while others simply shut their minds and don't even realise the fact that we have one. Some of us perish. Brutal selection.
If you are dedicated to torture a soul, that is so well-hidden inside a coffin of flesh and bones, there is only one thing you need to know. You can get through the layer of tissues. You can make them bleed. Still, one thing you cannot hurt is a soul. Not with anything substantial.
But then, blinded by the killing bloodthirst, the lust for destruction, you accidentally may speak your mind about Art, Beauty or the understanding of them. Fake poets, ignorant fanatics, children,who all believe themselves to be able to get the purpose of Art.
You might begin with telling how much you think Art is free. Then,misplacing it, stating that one piece of Art can mean anything you see in it yourself. Thus saying that Art is dragged to existence through you, the reader, the watcher, the listener, the taster. The ones having soul will surely have their hearts skip a beat.
Art is never meant to be created by you experiencing it. Art is the Channel, the Marriage, the Kiss of Eternity.
Art is the Marriage of two ingredients: an impulse and an artist. The artist is beckoned by the impulse, which he feels as nobody else. He feels that nobody could experience it that way and that it would soon die away. He turns to Art,the Channel, and he sends the bliss only he could feel to the world, letting it experience miracles otherwise it could not. By taking the way of Art, he places the Kiss of Eternity upon the work's forehead, making it live even when he dies, and becomes nothing more than a pile of biological waste.
The way you experience the piece that hence is created is nothing like you. The purpose is not to give you impulse, the purpose is to convey the Beauty,so you can feel it. It is not your privilege to state your impression of that work to be anything else it was meant to be.
Then again, as the second slash to the soul, it is one of your options. You can sense the piece of Art, you can tell everyone that to your own mind, it means something it is not. There's nothing wrong with discussion for the artistic ones; but when it comes to the point where you insist that as an artist yourself - without any idea about the creation of Art or its existence - you know what it means, and it is true, thus dragging down Beauty, Impulse and Art to the filthy ground and humiliating it, raping it,you wound the artistic one to the very core, leaving him breathless and pale with anger.
Probably soon bleeding dry inside.
