My definition of sane art is that listening to it, looking at it, it gives you health, wholeness, silence, peace. […]
Classical music has tremendous sanity. It can make even an insane person sane. Just listening to classical music, he may calm down. But jazz — even a sane person may start feeling a jerk.
All that has happened in the modern art, whether it is painting or music or poetry, it is great but yet it is not sane.
Osho, The Last Testament, Vol 3, Ch 30
Modern man is suffering, is in immense misery and hell and that shows in modern art. Modern art is a reflection. Art is always a reflection, it is a mirror, because the artist is the most sensitive person in the society, hence he is first to become aware of what is happening; others take a longer time to become aware.
The poet is the most prophetic because he becomes aware of things which are going to happen, he becomes aware a little ahead of time, hence he is never understood.
Modern art is psychotic — it reflects humanity. It shows that something has gone wrong, very wrong: man is falling apart.
Osho, Zen: Zest. Zip, Zap and Zing, Ch 14
"Every art can be described either as objective art, or as subjective art. Subjective art you will find everywhere. It comes from your feelings, from your heart, from your mind: in paintings, in poetry, in music.
But objective art comes from the emptiness of your heart; you just become a flute, a hollow bamboo and the universe sings through you. Your only credit is that you don’t create any hindrances, you simply allow the universe to flow through you. With you being in a let-go and allowing the universe to flow through you, objective art is created.
There is not much objective art in the world, because before objective art can be created you have to become a hollow bamboo; and you are so solid, your ego is so stubborn. Before creating objective art, you have to be so humble, almost nobody. In your absence there comes a great universal flood. That flood can become poetry, a painting, music, a dance, a sculpture. Thousands of dimensions are available, you just allow it. "
OSHO
