Bruce Lee's Wise Quote - "What Is Art?"- An Amazing Description of STEEMIT'S Common Artistic Pretentiousness - Original Lee's Quote You Won't Find On The Internet
This is an amazing Bruce Lee's quote, I read in one of Bruce Lee's essays. It, very accurately, describes the difference between true art and insincere art. Insincere art seems to be pervading our society, and to large extent on Steemit.
Please, have a read.
"What Is Art?
Art is communication of feelings.
Art must originate with an experience or feeling of the artist.
Much pseudo-art comes from insincerity or the attempt to create a work of art that does not grow from actual experience or feeling.
Adequate form requires INDIVIDUALITY rather than imitative repetitiousness, brevity rather than bulkiness, clarity rather than obscurity, SIMPLICITY OF EXPRESSION RATHER THAN COMPLEXITY OF FORM."

Great post. I would just add this from Bruce "Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless like water if you put water in the cup it becomes the cup and water can flow or it can crash." 🙏🏻
Yes, this is great quote too. I think it is the most popular and the most exploited quote of his :-)
