- Berthold Auerbach

About this Quote

Berthold Auerbach's quote speaks to the imaginative process of an artist. He suggests that the sensation of frustration that an artist experiences upon finishing a work is the beginning of a new work. This dissatisfaction is the "germ" of the brand-new work, the trigger that ignites the innovative process. Auerbach's quote implies that the creative process is perpetual, as the discontentment of one work causes the production of another. This dissatisfaction is not necessarily a negative feeling, however rather an indication of growth and progress. It is a reminder that the artist is continuously striving to produce something new and better than before. Auerbach's quote motivates artists to accept this dissatisfaction and use it as a source of motivation for their next work. By doing so, they can continue to press the boundaries of their creativity and develop something really special.
