Summary "The Mind of the Artist: Thoughts and Sayings of Painters and Sculptors on Their Art" is a collection of artistic reflections compiled by Mrs. Laurence Binyon and published in the early 20th century. This anthology presents a range of thoughts and sayings from notable painters and sculptors, exploring their philosophies and insights on the nature of art, creativity, and the art-making process. The opening of "The Mind of the Artist" sets a reflective tone through a preface by George Clausen, who emphasizes the importance of understanding the principles that guide artists' works. It introduces various quotes from artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michael Angelo, and Fuseli, highlighting their observations on the expressive power of art, the importance of nature, and the quest for truth in artistic representation. These foundational thoughts serve to establish a rich context for the dialogues to follow, offering readers an initial glimpse into the profound ideas that informed artistic creation through the ages.
