Artist and his craft

According to Henry Ward Beecher, every artist dips his brush in his own soul and paints his own nature into his picture. I think every artist has his own unique craft, the purest representation possible for his soul. As to the hunger artist, it's on his way of fasting. Once renowned for his asceticism and his ability to fast, he is now looked upon as a mere oddity; just another circus attraction.

Sometimes it is so frustrating for an artist who has a deep passion and overwhelming desire to produce a craft but could not find the proper outlet. A life of an artist is like a struggle between expression and the appreciation of the art. It's so difficult to conform with the demands of the people but then this is one way of ensuring a continuous appreciation of the art. It is also this conformity, to the standards of society and the natural standards of beauty we are all born with, that makes the craft of the artist be considered as an art; a beautiful art. Without following these standards, never can an artist say they produced something that was truly beautiful. In other words, unless the artwork has followed some standard, no one will ever go up to it or hear it and think of it. Even how hard he tried to express himself there's always limiting factors.That's the dilemma of an artist with his craft.

Be creative and cross the boundaries of art.
