    genuine art tells the truth - Chögyam Trungpa

    C_y-twombly

    Discovered "True Perception: The Path of Dharma Art" by Chögyam Trungpa.

    Page 1 starts: "The basic problem in artistic endeavor is the tendency to split the artist from the audience and then try to send a message from one to another. When this happens, then art becomes exhibitionism. One person may get a tremendous flash of inspiration and rush to "put it down on paper" to impress or excite others, and a
    more deliberate artist may strategize each step of his work in order to produce certain effects on his viewers. But no matter how technically accomplished such approaches may be, they invariably become clumsy and aggressive towards others and toward oneself."

    Exactly! He points out dharma art is unself-conscious, direct, and expresses without struggle or desire to achieve.
