A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
艺术家
Artist
I'm an artist who works with pictures and words. Sometimes that stuff ends up in different kinds of sites and contexts which determine what it means and looks like.
我是一个用图片和文字创作的艺术家。有时候，这些东西最终会出现在不同的网站和环境中，这些网站和环境决定了它的含义和外观。
Pioneers did not produce original works of art, because they were creating original human environments; they did not imagine Utopias because they were shaping them.
拓荒者不创造原创的艺术作品，因为他们创造的是原始的人类环境;他们没有想象乌托邦，因为他们正在塑造乌托邦。
Those artists who say that somehow therapy or analysis will thwart their creativity are completely misinformed. It's absolutely the opposite: it opens closed doors.
那些说治疗或分析会以某种方式阻碍他们的创造力的艺术家是完全错误的。恰恰相反:它打开了一扇紧闭的门。
A contemporary artist can use the findings of all epochs and all styles, from the most primitive literary expressions up to the most refined products of the baroque.
当代艺术家可以使用所有时代和风格的发现，从最原始的文学表达到巴洛克最精致的产品。
Every artist will one day face the moment when he or she is doing what he or she does after the style has passed and the art-world heat-seeking machine has moved on.
每一位艺术家总有一天会面对这样一个时刻:当风格过去，艺术世界的热寻机器已经前进时，他或她还在做着他或她所做的事情。
Every one of us is an artist, and as an artist, you really can stroll into any venue that you want, as long as you take your time to learn the etiquette of that venue.
我们每个人都是艺术家，作为一名艺术家，你真的可以漫步到任何你想去的地方，只要你花时间去学习那个地方的礼仪。
As a fashion designer, I was always aware that I was not an artist, because I was creating something that was made to be sold, marketed, used, and ultimately discarded.
作为一名时装设计师，我一直意识到自己不是一名艺术家，因为我创作的东西是用来销售、营销、使用，最终被丢弃的。
The artist doesn't have time to listen to the critics. The ones who want to be writers read the reviews, the ones who want to write don't have the time to read reviews.
这位艺术家没有时间听批评家们的批评。那些想成为作家的人读评论，那些想写作的人没有时间读评论。
So ultimately, it's idealistic to think that artists are able to step away from the power of the media and the way it controls things, and go on doing their own things.
所以最终，认为艺术家能够远离媒体的力量和它控制事物的方式，继续做他们自己的事情是理想化的。
One travels so as to learn once more how to marvel at life in the way a child does. And blessed be the poet, the artist who knows how to keep alive his sense of wonder.
旅行是为了再次学习如何像孩子一样对生活感到惊奇。诗人和艺术家是有福的，因为他们知道如何保持自己的好奇心。
The more I grow as an artist, the more I think I become like my father as an artist. The more I diversify, the more I become like my father, which is true to who he was.
作为一个艺术家，我成长得越快，我就越觉得自己像我的父亲。我越多样化，我就越像我的父亲，这是真实的他。
No one likes to work for free. To copy an artist's work and download it free is stealing. It's hard work writing and recording music, and it's morally wrong to steal it.
没有人喜欢免费工作。复制艺术家的作品并免费下载就是偷窃。写歌和录歌都是很辛苦的工作，而且从道德上讲，偷音乐是错误的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I so much appreciate it when anybody tries to make something and tries to be an artist - I'm happy to see the work.
当有人想要做点什么，想要成为一名艺术家时，我非常感激——我很高兴看到这些作品。
An artist is an artist only because of his exquisite sense of beauty, a sense which shows him intoxicating pleasures, but which at the same time implies and contains an equally exquisite sense of all deformities and all disproportion.
艺术家之所以是艺术家，只是因为他有一种细腻的美感，一种使人陶醉的快乐的美感，但同时也包含着一种同样细腻的美感，即所有的畸形和所有的失调。
Lesser artists borrow, great artists steal.
小艺术家借，大艺术家偷。
Work can take on a new dimension if you know something about the artist.
如果你对艺术家有所了解，你的作品就会呈现出一个全新的维度。
I want to be an artist that everyone can relate to, that's young, happy and fun.
我想成为一个每个人都能感同身受的艺术家，年轻、快乐、有趣。
The artist alone sees spirits. But after he has told of their appearing to him, everybody sees them.
只有艺术家才能看到灵魂。但当他告诉大家他们出现在他面前时，每个人都看到了他们。
