- Constantin Brancusi

About this Quote

This quote by Constantin Brancusi talks to the concept that simplicity is not something that can be achieved through conscious effort. Rather, it is something that is achieved through a much deeper understanding of the topic. By entering into the real sense of things, one can acquire a much better understanding of the complexities of the subject and therefore achieve a simpler representation of it. This quote speaks with the idea that art is not about accomplishing a particular level of simplicity, however rather about understanding the subject matter and revealing it in a way that is real to its essence. It is through this understanding that a person can achieve a level of simplicity that is both visually pleasing and meaningful. Brancusi's quote motivates us to look beyond the surface of a subject and to explore its deeper significance in order to create art that is both lovely and significant.
