Pharoah with Horus the falcon god |
"There are two kinds of art," said Gurdjieff, "one quite different from
the other—objective art and subjective art….The difference is that
in objective art the artist really does 'create,' that is, he makes
what he intended, he puts into his work whatever ideas and feelings
he wants to put into it. And the action of this work upon men is absolutely
definite; they will, of course each according to his own level, receive
the same ideas and the same feelings that the artist wanted to transmit
to them. There can be nothing accidental either in the creation or
in the impressions of objective art."
