Creative Quotations

fromGiacomo Puccini

(1858-1924) born Dec 22

Italian composer; He wrote many operas with exotic

settings including La Boheme, 1896 and Madame Butterfly, 1904.

…colors like a flourish of

trumpets or pianissimo on the

violin, great, calm, oscillating,

splintered

surgances… Is this not form?

Inspiration is an awakening, a quickening of

all man's faculties, and it is manifested in all high artistic achievements.

Art is a kind

of illness.

Cold calculation, random spots of

color,

mathematically exact

construction (clearly shown or

concealed), drawing that is

now silent and now strident… Is

this not form?

The work comes into the

world at an undetermined hour, from a

still unknown, but it comes inevitably.
