Statement

On art, Brian Morrison 11/04


Creative intensity
flows
from the very center
my
aching heart
Touch the seam
Life
to open windows
canceling thoughts which
Forever planted
imprinted
mind
Jury questions lengthy
verdicts
Open sills, curtains
blow open
outreached hands toward the sky, night
day
open, see open
fresh new action
the everlasting peace of tranquility reaches out and touches me
I ask myself this question.

Brian Morrison

Following is a fitting quote:

"It is important that the artist should be highly educated in his own art; but his education is one that is hindered rather than helped by the ordinary processes of society which constitute education for the ordinary man. For these processes consist largely in the acquisition of impersonal ideas which obscure what we really are and feel, what we really want, and what really excites out interest. It is of course not the actual information acquired, but the conformity which the accumulation of knowledge is apt to impose, that is harmful…. Blake… knew what interested him, and he therefore presents only the essential, only, in fact, what can be presented, and need not be explained. And because he was not distracted, or frightened, or occupied in anything but exact statement, he understood. He was naked, and saw man naked, and from the centre of his own crystal…. He approached everything with a mind unclouded by current opinions..

"But if there was nothing to distract him from sincerity there were, on the other hand, the dangers to which the naked man is exposed. His philosophy, like his visions, like his insight, like his technique, was his own…."
