You Don't Understand Art

September 27th 2008 3:58 AM - #43 - permanent link - printable version
Sometimes individuals can say the most priceless little gems. Here's one that happened yesterday. It was directed at an individual, but I think it could just as easily be directed at everybody:

The number of notes or their complexity is not related to the piece's quality or beauty. In fact, a great composer delivers the message with the minimum amount of fuss. The same goes for lyrics: If you can say what you have to say in two lines, then those two lines shall be the lyrics.

Remember that scene in "Dead Poets' Society", where they read about how to determine the quality of a poem by multiplying the importance of the subject by the perfection of the applied stylistic devices, and then he makes them tear that chapter out of the book? You are the author of that chapter.

You don't understand Art, and that's OK. Maybe nobody really does. But please don't claim you do.

- Tobias Dammers
