"No matter what the illusion created, it is a flat canvas and it has to be organized in shape."
English Painter
1937 -
All art is illusionary. Whether we are talking about a painting, a novel or a film, we are talking about the art of creating reality out of nothing. For the painter, the canvas is blank. For the writer, the page is blank. For the actor, the character is blank. Out of nothing the artist creates the illusion of reality. The better the illusion, the more likely we are to believe that we are experiencing reality. Creative leaders are masters of illusion, magicians of mystery.
