“Art evokes the mystery without which the world would not exist” said René Magritte and Edgar Degas: “A painting requires a little mystery, some vagueness, some fantasy. When you always make your meaning perfectly plain you end up boring people”
Julia Cameron, author of The Artist’s Way maintains, “Mystery is at the heart of creativity” and in my studio I often recall a quote from from Francis Bacon: “The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery”.
