P. 11
Regardless of the variety and multiplicity of his products (whether
they are beautiful, ugly, weak, strong, sensual, cold), he none the less
follows an extremely progressive path: energy always needs direction,
otherwise it is lost. If the artist didn’t have any energy, he would not
be able to define any form for himself, that is no behavioural form,
and he would thus lose his own energy. All of this, however, provided
he doesn’t undertake this as an act of will; if he did, then he would
inevitably sacrifice his own happiness.
Considering what we have just said, this volume would therefore like
to present and promote the understanding of just how important it
is to go from an artist’s notoriety to the importance of his work, in
an attempt to bring together different experiences within a possible
product level, trying to create a tangible, and an equally subtle and
ineffable, link between these.
If art is put forward as the locus of communication, then it is also
the locus of self-reflection, in that everything is inevitably related to
everything and everyone. (Andrea Pagnes, writer)
