“The enemy of art is the absence of limitations” (attributed to Orson Welles)
- posterboy 9y agoThe goal of an artist is to push boundaries, overcome restrictions. Absence of limitations is the goal of pretty much everything. That's what would be called perfection. Setting artificial restrictions is a way to learn by reduction of a problem by simplification, and setting boundaries requires creativity, too, but in principle, freedom is not the enemy. In another reading, absence of limitations would be limiting, still, which would be paradox.
