Quote by Jackson Pollock

My painting does not come from the easel.

My painting does not come from the easel.

Summary

This quote suggests that the artist's inspiration and creativity do not solely originate from the physical act of painting at an easel. It implies that the source of artistic expression for the painter lies beyond the tangible techniques and tools, and instead, it stems from a deeper place within. The artist may find inspiration from personal experiences, emotions, or imagination, and then translates these intangible elements onto the canvas through the act of painting. In essence, this quote emphasizes that the true essence of art comes from within the artist themselves, rather than purely through the physical act of painting.

Einstein is an analytical mathematician seeking to give a physical interpretation to the conclusions of his mathematical process. In this he is hampered by a load of contradictory and absurd assumptions of the school that he follows, which throws him into all manner of difficulty. Einstein has such a faculty for embracing both sides of a contradiction that one would have to be of the same frame of mind to follow his thought, it is so peculiarly his own. The whole Relativity theory is as easy to follow as the path of a bat in the air at night.
