newrafael/werner-herzogs-even-dwarfs-started-small/ "If an artist has something to say, an exact message, why not just say it? Why get into the trouble of making art if you could just say it? Perhaps the artist is not articulate in words, and needs another way of sharing his/her vision. The real question for me is the question of meaning. When we encounter a scene in a film or a figure in a painting, we always try to find meaning. Meaning implies that what we see in front of us is not what is being said. The symbol behaves as a shortcut to the true vision, just like clicking an icon launches an application. You want the application, the icon is not enough. I don’t think art is like that. The art work/ scene/ painting/ song, is not just a shortcut to something outside of it. The energy of the work should be there, right there when you see it. The viewer should try to think less while viewing." -Rafaël Rozendaal-
