7 Recommendation A true artist is driven by their restless, curious, experimental spirit. Not content with the possibilities oil and canvas can provide, they enlarge and print, cut and fold, glue layers together, experiment with all kinds of materials. They look for the third dimension, take out the metal and bend it, melt glass and shape it. Then they move on, take the red pill and kick in the door to pass into the fourth dimension. An exciting artist is passionate. Their emotional relationship is not only intense with the object of creation, the creative process and its result, but they live life with great depth and intensity, in constant contact with their own emotions. An elaborate artist knows the material, the technique of working it, because they have learned it, elaborated it, tested it. They know what it takes to keep the layers from sliding apart, to keep the multi-ton glass colossus from toppling over. They are not deterred by the term "technology", and don't mind having to deal with the laws of physics, which is why they will actually create what they have dreamed of. A free artist knows no boundaries, steps out of the box, does not depend on the material results of their work, and is not tormented by the need to conform. If there is no inspiration, they don't create; if they want inspiration, they go after it. They are extravagant, not evident, and we know that the history of art is written by extravagant creators. A humble artist respects their masters, they are grateful for their teaching and inspiration. They are not ashamed to ask for advice and receive criticism. They know the joy of gaining knowledge and enjoy the benefits of it. An exciting artist likes to play, a homo ludens. They don't mind taking risks, so they think and act big with much ease. In the end, only the successfully completed pieces last anyway. And a successful artist is pleasant, inspiring company. It's all in this book. This book is about Gábor Városi.
