Art Style Immaturity

More From Franz Grillparzer

The puritan, of course, is not entirely devoid of aesthetic feeling. he has a taste for good form; he responds to style; he is even capable of something approaching a purely aesthetic emotion. but he fears this aesthetic emotion as an insinuating distraction from his chief business in life: the sober consideration of the all-important problem of conduct. art is a temptation, a seduction, a lorelei, and the good man may safely have traffic with it when it is broken to moral uses--in other words, when its innocence is pumped out of it, and it is purged of gusto.

The mainspring of creativity appears to be the same tendency which we discover so deeply as the curative force in psychotherapy, man's tendency to actualize himself, to become his potentialities. by this i mean the organic and human life, the urge to expand, extend, develop, mature - the tendency to express and activate all the capacities of the organism, or the self.

Generally speaking, an author's style is a faithful copy of his mind. if you would write a lucid style, let there first be light in your own mind; and if you would write a grand style, you ought to have a grand character.

Most of the great works of juvenile literature are subversive in one way or another: they express ideas and emotions not generally approved of or even recognized at the time; they make fun of honored figures and piously held beliefs; and they view social pretenses with clear-eyed directness, remarking - as in andersen's famous tale - that the emperor has no clothes.

You may object that by speaking of simplicity and beauty i am introducing aesthetic criteria of truth, and i frankly admit that i am strongly attracted by the simplicity and beauty of mathematical schemes which nature presents us. you must have felt this too: the almost frightening simplicity and wholeness of the relationship, which nature suddenly spreads out before us.

But everything written has style. the list of ingredients on the side of a cornflakes box has style. and everything literary has literary style. and style is integral to a work. how something is told correlates with - more - makes what's being told. a story is its style.
