The perfection of art is to conceal art.

The perfection of art is to conceal art.

Summary

This quote suggests that the ultimate goal of art is to make the artistic process and technique invisible to the observer. To achieve true excellence, artists must seamlessly execute their craft without drawing attention to the artistry itself. Rather, the focus should be on the final result, where the observer is captivated by the beauty and emotion conveyed by the artwork. By concealing the art behind the work, artists allow the audience to engage with the meaning and impact, transcending the mere appreciation of technical skill.

Solve it. Solve it quickly, solve it right or wrong. If you solve it wrong, it will come back and slap you in the face, and then you can solve it right.
