“The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves in nothing.” – Eugene Delacroix by Adriane Cala

An artist who chases perfection is like a dog chasing its own tail; stupid and absurd. Perfection itself is a delusion; a figment of our imagination that symbolizes innate and flawless beauty. There is such a thing that is the "golden ratio," which is what everyone craves, yet there is not a single thing in the world that exists without a dent, flaw, or fatality. I do not believe that perfection is achieved, for it is not in art that we find flawlessness, but it is in art where we find subtlety and complexity that is labeled as imperfection.

Art imitates life, heard of that one? Maybe it’s because just like in art, we make mistakes in life — to achieve something, we also need to work hard for it.

Where is the spirit if you don’t try new things, what was the point of you finishing that piece within minutes? Making mistakes isn’t automatic failure, it’s a milestone that you’re willing to try new things and learn from those failures. You are not afraid if you strike the wrong color, or brush the wrong side of the canvas. No one said anything about art being perfect. Art is art is art is art, let’s not let something artificial cover our traditional practices with how we make our magnum opuses. It’s more fun if we get hands on, and even better if we discover something from it.

I feel that if we aim for too much to the point that the things we do must be perfect, it's like we're not doing this to improve and explore new things, but to aim for something not even worthwhile. We won't be able to appreciate the imperfections we made because we would be too focused on trying to be perfect all the time.

I agree 100% because art isn't all about perfection,making mistakes makes you human. Humans are filled with emotions they were never perfect from the start. If an artist aims for their art to be perfect they would succumb to this art hell just to create perfect art. No one can make perfection not even you. You try and try again but the there are always writings on the wall to tell you, you've suffered and sacrificed too much just to achieve perfection.

Yes I agrees👍🏻💯

Because not everything has to be perfect in the first try, it is all about enjoying the things that you want, only for yourself and not for others to indulge in.

We both personally agree with the quote. Aiming for perfection in a world full of imperfections can only lead to achieving nothing, this being because putting yourself on such a high pedestal will make you forget and be unable to achieve your true potential.

Being a perfectionist is foolish and naive, and doing so will make you forget the real reason why we are alive; to make mistakes and be human.

Those who always strive for perfection in everything achieve nothing. For us, the quote means that those who always want to reach the top without mistakes are those who will fall in the end. We believe that the mistakes we make in our works are what make us unique, or in some cases those mistakes are meant to teach us a lesson.

And yes. We believe that, I thank you. 😸

even if I'm not an artist I agree with this quote because to me, art is a process to be enjoyed and not entirely about how good the end product will be. Even if it is, perfection is unattainable and if that is all you focus on, you will lose sight of what you should be focusing on and in hindsight you will regret not enjoying the process of creating.

Santos

As an artist, I agree with this quote since that art doesn't have to be perfect. Art is supposed to release your inner self or your inner emotion into a drawing or painting. Even if you try to aim for perfection in art, you will unlikely to succeed as nobody can achieve perfectionism in arts. You will lose the purpose of the creativity and the wonders of being an artist.

A man who's perfectionist doesn’t know the end of their satisfaction. Despite, efforts, circumstances, and everything, these factors will all be useless. They will continue thinking that there is always more than enough of what they've seen.. However, in the end, they will have achieved nothing because of trying too hard to be “perfect”. Imperfection is normal, you make mistakes and learn from them.

In my own perspective, the quote explains how some people become so greedy to get that perfection that they missed out the experience of a fun and happy life. Regret will dawn up to them when it’s all too late. The quote also serves as a lesson to those people who prevent themselves from exploring things to have that perfect satisfaction that they’ve dreamed of —which doesn’t exist.

I agree to what he just said to the quote because I noticed some people that focusing on being the perfect one without even trying to be happy and doesn't have a freedom. They doesn't even experienced how life is to be free and not worrying. Nobody's perfect not all that you do doesn't need to be perfect. We all have imperfections.

Yes and no.

To begin with, we agree as with so much concentration on perfection, we tend to overlook the simple things to be appreciated in one's living. As follows: too much may be blinding. It is, that there are more in one's short life to unravel.

On the contrary, no, as giving passion to one is a key to success. Focusing in perfection can actually get you a lot of things. If one continues exerting effort in reach for one's aim, the determination to earn, then one may be able to achieve all they desire of.

Yes I do agree with this quote because people make mistakes and no one is perfect, we live in a world with full of imperfections and we should accept that fact.

Art is something one should enjoy. There is a saying that creative works are where people show their emotions and feelings. What emotion can perfection show? Nothing, if we take it up into perspective, it is like a mask that we put on ourselves, never showing our true self. If an artwork has no imperfection, if the artist strives for perfection, can we even call it ours?

If you're focused on being perfect, you're forgetting the sense of having fun. Sa sobrang pag ka perfectionist mo dimo na kilala sarli mo kasi masyado ka nang eager na maging best ka sa lahat. Why dont you live your life to the fullest instead na laging mong hinahanapan nang butas yung mga ginagawa mo.

"There is beauty in imperfection" is my interpretation of Delacroix's statement. A work of art that adheres perfectly to the laws that dictate a proper artwork makes for an uninteresting piece, whereas a work with flaws and imperfections are what make a work of art uniquely beautiful. These quirks that an artist makes are what tells it apart from other pieces.

From what I understand, being a perfectionist doesn't let you explore other paths which makes you gain no new knowledge or challenges. Being an artist is not about making the perfect artwork, but expressing your feelings whether they are good or bad. - Gutierrez

If you're aiming to be perfect at everything, you will not feel your own achievement because not all the time your work and yourself is perfect. Basically you cannot see your own achivement, you're underestimating yourself by being a perfectionist. - Coronado

I think that aiming for perfection is not that bad. It gives you a goal, a force to push you further. Everything has a process, you can't just go from 0 to 100, there are still values between these numbers. Saying that you achieve in nothing is downplaying what you have done. I think that it just depends on what you precieved as perfect, there are art pieces that people may not think is good but you can think it's perfect.

I agree because when your too perfectionist you start to forgot to enjoy and have time to spend with your family and friends because your too focused on being perfect in everything that you go to the wrong path and forgot what you truly desire to achieve.

Perfection is not something you should chase. Everyone starts with nothing, so there's no point in chasing perfection if there was nothing to start with at the first place. It's not easy to achieve perfection in art because art is all about imperfections. You can only create perfection when you realize that you have the passion and motivation to create something based on how you feel and your imagination.

If you always strive for something better you will never be satisfied. I think it depends on the person. Sometimes if we keep striving to be perfect or to have everything perfect we won’t be able to do it by the end of the day and will eventually be left with nothing. Sometimes it’s better to be contented and happy on those pretty imperfections. But not all people are the same, it means that some people will eventually be able to get what they want and be perfect. But for me, it’s too tiring. Striving for perfection is hard and everybody has different perspectives on what that perfection could be. Aiming for perfection could lead you to disappointment.

Yes, I agree with him because learning or embracing the acceptance of imperfection, acknowledging the risk, and the readiness to let go of impractical expectations are often a part of creativity. This quote essentially encourages concentrating on development and expression rather than being bogged down in an impossible quest for faultless perfection. It implies that real success stems from the process of creativity itself rather than the unachievable objective of flawless execution.
