A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
眼睛
Eyes
It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others, of measuring one's soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity.
这是一种奇特的感觉,一种双重意识,一种总是通过别人的眼睛来审视自己的感觉,一种用一根带子来衡量自己的灵魂的感觉,而这个带子上的世界却以一种嘲弄的轻蔑和怜悯的眼光看着我们。
The painting develops before my eyes, unfolding its surprises as it progresses. It is this which gives me the sense of complete liberty, and for this reason I am incapable of forming a plan or making a sketch beforehand.
这幅画在我眼前展开,随着它的展开,它的惊奇也随之展开。正是这一点给了我一种完全自由的感觉,正因为如此,我无法事先制定计划或勾画草图。
One is not idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor. To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do. The crossed arms work, the clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation.
一个人不是因为专心而无所事事。有看得见的劳动,也有看不见的劳动。思即苦干,思即行。双臂交叉起作用,双手合十起作用。仰望天堂是一种创造的行为。
Design in art, is a recognition of the relation between various things, various elements in the creative flux. You can't invent a design. You recognize it, in the fourth dimension. That is, with your blood and your bones, as well as with your eyes.
设计在艺术中,是对各种事物之间关系的认识,是各种元素在创作中的流动。你不能发明一个设计。你能认出它,在第四维度。就是你的血,你的骨头,你的眼睛。
