"عمل فني يحتوي على نظريات يشبه شيئًا تُركت عليه بطاقة السعر."
— Alexander Pope
Simplified Meaning:
When you make a piece of art, like a painting or a sculpture, it should be something that people can enjoy and feel without needing to know the artist's ideas or theories behind it. If an artwork is filled with too many explanations or complex ideas, it’s like buying a gift and forgetting to remove the price tag – it distracts from the beauty and enjoyment of the gift. Imagine getting a lovely painting for your living room. If the artist left a note on it saying, "This painting represents the struggle between new technologies and traditional ways," it might confuse you or make you think too much, rather than just enjoying the look of the painting on your wall. In life, sometimes it's best to experience things simply and directly, without overthinking them. Think about listening to music. You don't need to know the theories about how the music was composed to enjoy it. You just listen and feel the emotions it brings. So, to apply this advice, try not to overcomplicate things you create or do. Let people enjoy them for what they are, and keep the explanations to a minimum unless someone asks. This approach makes your work more accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
