"艺术家总是在开始。任何不是一个开始、一个发明、一个发现的艺术作品都没有太大的价值。"
— Ezra Pound
Simplified Meaning:
A true artist is always looking for new ideas and ways to express them. If their work doesn't bring something new, fresh, or innovative, then it doesn't have much value. Imagine a chef who always cooks the same meal. People might enjoy it at first, but they would get bored quickly if there is nothing different on the menu. In the same way, an artist must constantly seek new inspiration and creativity. For example, Picasso didn't just stick with one style of painting; he invented new styles like cubism, which made his work exciting and influential. So, for anyone wanting to create something meaningful, they should always strive to find new ways to start, invent, or discover in their work. This approach keeps their craft interesting and valuable to others.
