6929 - The hand of a good master

N. Lygeros
Translation: Paola Vagioni

“The artist must first train his handby copying the drawings of the hand of a good master.”

To truly reach
the ultimate freedom in art,
one has to develop
by studying the work of the past
and thereby work for the future.
Otherwise we content ourselves
with touching recreation
at best procreation
but never creation
the one that permits grasping
the essence of our memory
that traverses humanity.
