Pearls from artists* # 584

Barbara’s Studio

*an ongoing series of quotations – mostly from artists, to artists – that offers wisdom, inspiration, and advice for the sometimes lonely road we are on.

The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the object it loves.

Carl Jung quoted by Stephen Nachmanovitch in Free Play: Improvisation in Life and Art
