"To find a form that accommodates the mess, that is the task of the artist now" Samuel Beckett

What's an artist anyway? Some people view an artist as simply a painter, some as a performer, some as a professional chef. "Art" is really not able to be defined in one concrete way - art is a form that accommodates a mess. People always say artists are a bit out of their minds and living their own worlds, and in a sense, although very stereotypically, it is true. Artists drown in their own world where they delve into their own type of "mess" and find perfection in imperfections. They don't want a totally and completely organized life - it's the spontaneity and the puzzling of mismatching pieces that makes the artists' lives exciting and worth having a passion for. Every artist has their own form, their own way of adapting, and whichever form is most adequate to the artist, that is what makes the artist a beautiful disaster.
