A work of art is good if it has arisen out of necessity. That is the only way one can judge it.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Earth, is not this what you will: in us to rise up invisible? Is it, O Earth, not your dream once to be wholly invisible? Earth! Invisible! What, if not change, is your desperate mission?

I live not in dreams but in contemplation of a reality that is perhaps the future.
Rainer Maria Rilke

Harshness vanished. A sudden softness has replaced the meadows' wintry grey. Little rivulets of water changed their singing accents. Tendernesses, hesitantly, reach toward the earth from space, and country lanes are showing these unexpected subtle risings that find expression in the empty trees.

Across the moment, aeons speak with aeons. More than we experienced has gone by.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
My art is representational by choice....if the art of painting is to survive, it must describe and express people, their lives and times. It must communicate.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Do not despair if the answers don't come immediately. Some answers are only revealed with the passage of time.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
No great art has ever been made without the artist having known danger.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
I think of you often, dear, and with such concentrated wishes that it really must help you in some way.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
But suppose the endlessly dead were to wake in us some emblem: they might point to the catkins hanging from the empty hazel trees, or direct us to the rain descending on black earth in early spring. --- And we, who always think of happiness rising, would feel the emotion that almost baffles us when a happy thing falls.
