Have you ever seen a masterpiece before, what you would constitute as a "masterpiece?" There is no universal definition because of its subjective nature; they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But when you look up crafted magnificence, you KNOW what you're beholding.
However, this is not a place to muse about past masterpieces. I want to have a conversation about what YIELDS masterpieces. So we will start with this question:
What piece must be mastered to make a masterpiece?
To elaborate, you all are artists! You have your artistic toolbox, and you've stood (I hope) in the ambience of aesthetic brilliance before. What PIECE of your artistic PUZZLE do you need to MASTER in order to create a MASTERPIECE?
I like that name. The Vault.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I was pretty pumped when I thought of it. Thanks for noticing!
DeleteI don't really know /how/ to phrase this, but what should be mastered to create a masterpiece should be how to incorporate the writer's own feelings into their work to make it more personal.
ReplyDeleteIs this something that is a challenge for you? I'm curious why you think "feelings" in a work or a "personal" feel is so crucial to you when thinking about masterpiece creation. Could you elaborate a little?
DeleteNot really. I just feel that making a piece of art more ~*~personal~*~ makes the writing more powerful in a way. Hard to explain, really.
DeleteThat's what we're here to do is attempt, daily, to explain the unexplainable. Try...who knows what you'll find.
DeleteIs that a class requirement? That wasn't on the syllabus...
DeleteIf you ONLY do what I put on the syllabus then you will NEVER receive the full extent of what this class has to offer. I would also say the same with life. Don't let other people draw your parameters. You should because you want to grow, not because I told you to.
DeleteMan, that sarcasm went waaaaay over your head. No offense.
DeleteBut, yeah, I totally know what you mean.
I guess the piece you would have to master is by trusting your creativity. If you don't like the way something is turning out, give it some time and it could blossom into something bigger. You have to trust that your creative side knows what its doing.
ReplyDeleteThis is fascinating. Where does this situate the writer in the creative process if the "creative side knows what its doing?" How crucial is each piece to this equation (the writer, the reader, and the creative process)? Any suggestions on HOW to trust that side of your art, or how to even RECOGNIZE the voice of your creativity?
DeleteTrusting your creativity. <33333333333 YAAAASS
DeleteIt's like trusting your work in the hands of someone else. Your creative side is really close to you and when you feel like you've screwed up your work, theres that little voice that encourages you to hand over the reins and your just going to have to see where it takes you. Creativity is limitless and at one point you have to trust it and see where it takes you.
DeleteI think you have to master the ability to get all of your creativity, and be able to use it in a way that speaks to people. You or anybody seeing your work.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we'll never have the final piece, the final piece is left open for more awesome stuff to get in, because with a final puzzle piece you close it off and its done. but creativity is more like a fire, you could always add more.

DeleteYou guys are so...
DeleteCorny.
I think that in order to create a masterpiece you have to be willing to go outside of your comfort zone and make something different. You have to use determination and confidence in creating something that rejects standards, guidelines, and restrictions in order to end up with a masterpiece. You need to trust yourself and your creativity in your work. A masterpiece is held so highly because it is special, unique, and uncommon.
ReplyDeleteLike reading your work in class? Is there any merit to going "outside of your comfort zone" and doing "something different?" If emotions and experiences are the colors with which we paint our art, isn't that uncomfort a potentially new color?
DeleteIn order to create a masterpiece you need to believe that you are CAPABLE of creating a masterpiece. If you work hard and use an imaginative mind and create something unique that you can see traces of yourself in, then you've created a masterpiece. You can have an experience and write a poem based off of it, and it could just grab somebody and mean a lot to them, in a completely different way. They could relate it to something that had happened to them. It could circulate and thousands of different people could view it in a thousand different ways, but it's still YOUR masterpiece that YOU created. Every single person's mind works differently, no one sees or interprets things the same. That's why something you create specifically is special because you have thought to create this thing, created it, and your mind and thought process is different than anyone else's. I think some thoughts are so special that they need to be shared. When someone creates a masterpiece, that is their thoughts being shared, and that makes something a masterpiece.
ReplyDeleteAre you saying that recognizing something as a masterpiece is completely subjective, individualized to the individual, in the eye of the beholder and the hand of the creator? If so, can anyone create a masterpiece? Can anything be a masterpiece? Or is there an "X-Factor" to certain pieces of art (painting, poetry, music, etc.) that exemplifies a higher level of art, aesthetics, skill, and craftsmanship?
DeleteI agree, people see art in different ways and can touch people differently.
DeleteThere's definitely a part of a technique that can constitute something as a masterpiece. Someone can call something they created their own masterpiece, and something someone reads, they can decide it as a masterpiece. I think it depends on the scale of which you are deciding. For example, a Claude Monet painting in a museum versus a piece of work a high school student that's magnificent and that they call their own masterpiece.
DeleteI believe a masterpiece is something that goes beyond the normal of it's surroundings. Individuality grasps the greatest aesthetic qualities possible. So beauty so concentrated to be called masterpiece can be held by a person, a painting, a poem; it is not constricted to just art, but to anything.
ReplyDeleteTo clarify, it takes the originality of the creator or composer to draw out the beauty of a piece that makes it such a masterpiece. :)
DeleteBut what PIECE needs to be MASTERED? How do we go "beyond the normal?" --fantastic line by the way!
DeletePerhaps the artistic piece we need is confidence for something to be a masterpiece, for if we believe in what we wrote then we can see it as a masterpiece.
ReplyDeletegood point, how would anyone blossom without confidence? My best work so far I had confidence in
DeleteBut u shouldn't call your own work a masterpiece, yes you could be proud that u made something you feel is really good but a masterpiece is not based on your own judgment, it should be judged by people who read your short stories or poems.

ReplyDeleteMany artists/poets/bands/singers didn't know their one piece would be their masterpiece. They didn't wake up one morning saying "Today will be the day I paint my masterpiece and everyone is going to love it and my name will go down in infamy." An audience, or more broadly, the general public, all agree this painting or song or poem is the best of them all. If you asked an average person what they think of when someone says "De Vinci" I can almost guarantee you they will respond with "Oh yeah, that one dude who painted the Mona Lisa!" Yes, many factors can go into a masterpiece but no one knows it's a masterpiece until it is released for the world to see.
ReplyDeleteI agree with that, you don't ever see anybody who knows they are making a masterpiece, it isn't them who creates it, it's the people who view it.
Deletewheres a like button when you need it? this was awesomely explained!
DeleteI love how this post explains how a masterpiece is not decided by the artist, but rather the audience.
DeleteThis post almost makes me sad. What of the masterpieces that are Eyore-ing around in the world because no one will look at them, recognize them for the MAGNIFICANCE that they hold? What of the artists that poured their SOUL into a work, only for it to be recognized 50 years later, long after he/she were dead and gone? Does this leave no say to the artist? Also, what of the audiences that give "masterpiece" status to a work that is sub-par in quality, effort, aesthetics, or magnitude but instead is elevated because of cultural popularity? I'm sad.
DeleteI agree in the fact that you said that you don't realize you are creating a masterpiece when it is in the works, and I think that's so beautiful. But do you not believe that you can consider your own work a masterpiece? I believe that it relies more on the factor of your own feelings towards the work than the acceptance and praise of the public
DeleteAs I was saying in my post, I also believe that on a different scale of the decision of the masterpiece. Like a painting in a museum, and a student deciding their work itself is a masterpiece. I think depending on how much someone loves a piece. They'll use the word masterpiece where they see fit. It can work as an adjective to describe something or a noun.
DeleteA masterpiece should be viewed by the creator as a masterpiece; everyone else is irrelevant.
DeleteThe definition of masterpiece is: a work of outstanding skill or workmanship, so I guess to the artist themselves it can be considered a masterpiece. Although the artist may believe it is a masterpiece the people who view it may never believe so. Which is sad but true. You may work as hard as you can, put your every being into your work and people might think it is just "okay".
DeleteT, sorry you are sad. You shouldn't be. But I think yes YOU yourself should agree this is your favorite, THE masterpiece before anyone should. But people interpret things different. I'm not sure how to respond or put what I'm thinking into the proper words. All I can say is if it's a masterpiece, I believe it has quality and more emotions. It took four years for De Vinci to paint the Mona Lisa.
DeleteThis is just an aspect of a masterpiece. "The missing piece."
DeleteIn order to create a masterpiece, I think you have to master the art of acceptance. So many people just can't accept others, or even themselves. They reject compliments and shun away others, based on looks and beliefs and petty rumors. The point in which you can look at the world and accept it, where you accept it for the good or for the bad or for the facts, that is when you can create a masterpiece. Once you accept yourself and others, you get a whole other look on life; things become clearer and transparent.
ReplyDeleteHow does this improve your art? I think it's a beautiful sentiment, but how does mastering this piece help you yield a masterpiece?
DeleteBecause then you can accept your own work as a masterpiece. You can see more and get more ideas and create something truly beautiful.
DeleteIn order to master a masterpiece, you need to get the logic down, and you must have a full knowing of how exactly you want your masterpiece to turn out. By knowing your goals, you usually know how you're going to achieve them. And if you don't know how to achieve them, you derive a plan to.
ReplyDeleteYou should try to be logical with your masterpiece. Make sure that your plan is able to be achieved, make a time goal. Spend whatever free time you have trying to make your goal a reality rather than wasting it on things that don't matter
But what happens if your "picture perfect masterpiece" does NOT come out perfect. If you don't think it is beautiful to yourself, whereas someone else may find it beautiful -- is it not a masterpiece to that person?
DeleteLike I said, you keep working toward your goal until it turns out the way you want, ya silly goose.
DeleteWhat if it doesn't? Legit question. What happens to the masterpiece that remains unfinished?
DeleteLangtson Hughes:
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore—
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over—
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
What do you do if someone is unaccepting of what you perceive to be a masterpiece? is it less masterpieceful?????
DeleteWell that's kind of a personal thing, some people might not ever be fully happy with their finalized work, but some people may just finish their when they feel it has sufficed for their needs.
DeleteIn order to create a masterpiece, it is important to understand and feel comfortable with the voice you create within, Meaning that if you are unfamiliar with your own style of writing or painting or whatever medium you use to express yourself in, it can be extremely difficult to create something beautiful and worthwhile. Finding who you are is a struggle that you must endure not only in life but in your work. You should be able to know what the poem you wrote six years was trying to convey because while the prompt or exact memory might not come back to you, the words you use, the format, the raw emotion of it should be familiar to you as the author of it. Mastering you who you are as an artist and what you want to accomplish through your work is the most important thing before you can truly create a masterpiece.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with the idea that you must feel comfortable in your own shoes and be familiar with who you once were in order to find beauty in your own work
DeleteI love this because I think you need to be comfortable in your own work because that can open vast creative opportunities.
DeleteI agree !
DeleteDoes that mean that people who are perpetually uncomfortable with their own work/voice cannot create a masterpiece?
DeleteTo believe your own work is a masterpiece, you have to have a positive attitude towards it. A piece might be a masterpiece to someone else, but the confidence within it is also what can carry the piece and give it the importance that it needs.
DeleteThe piece that needs to be mastered to make a masterpiece a masterpeice has to be emotion. Heart and soul is what its all about. Without emotion, the piece is kind of just there. I tired to add onto this but I couldn't, sorry.
ReplyDeleteI agree!! Raw emotion reveals the strongest of feelings and helps influence writers into their best works. How would Edgar Allen Poe have written some of the most heart-wrenching and depressing poems without having felt that way?
DeleteYou need to be able to like it and call it a masterpiece before anyone else calls it a masterpiece. Once you get it out there, then many other people will call it a masterpiece, also. You have to think it as a masterpiece for anyone else to do so.
ReplyDeleteI agree. You need to enjoy the essence of it before anyone can, because its yours. Falafel.
DeleteI believe that originality is the key to a masterpiece. If you say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then what better way to create your own masterpiece is there than being true to who you are? Not one person can read a poem or look at a painting and say that it is not beautiful, because to someone, somewhere, that creation is a masterpiece. Someone in a lonesome town could look at a poem wrote by their grandmother thirty years before and consider it a masterpiece, no matter the amount of praise the piece had received in its time. The definition of masterpiece does not lie within the limits of remembrance from millions of people, but the appreciation of one mind.
ReplyDeleteThe last line.... !!!!!!!!
DeleteThis is so true. The fate of a work of art relies on the person looking at them, and this is a really interesting way to think about it and you did a great job explaining this.
Deleteso much falafel srsly
DeleteYOUR LAST LINE IS WONDERFUL. I LOVE IT .
DeleteThis post made me sad, for I fear, DAILY, that I lack the necessary originality to yield a masterpiece. This post is a mirror turning my gaze inward to my own deficiencies and the reality that I will probably never create a masterpiece because I don't have the originality of Robert Frost, Monet, William Shakespeare, and Ed Sheeran. Sigh.
DeleteOriginality isn't comparing yourself to all of those people. Originality is being who you are and writing from your inner core. If you write sincerely you can have the beauty that Frost, Monet, Shakespeare, and Sheeran have learned to behold.
DeleteI'll bet Mr. Frost didn't even believe in his own masterpiece, Mr. T. You'll get there. You, of all people, will. Who is to say you haven't already?
DeleteIn my opinion, a piece becomes a masterpiece when the work of art can somehow evoke emotion from the onlooker or reader, depending on the type of masterpiece we're discussing. When a piece manages to crawl under your skin or attach itself to your heart, it becomes a masterpiece. For me, with novels and short stories, the most difficult part of writing is character development and making the character likable and believable, that we understand their motives, fears, emotions, values, qualities, etc. Fantastic character development and emotion are what really make or break a masterpiece, in my eyes.
ReplyDeleteThere should be a like button but then again this isn't facebook but I REALLY enjoyed the way you worded it. And I agree. 100%
DeleteI think a masterpiece is a piece of work that someone has put a part of themselves into. It has to be unique and come from inside their heart. It has to mean something to them and it should be something that is subjective to others.
ReplyDeleteYes. Also, others can interpret in their own personal life and relate!
Delete#RelatableTeenPosts
DeleteYes J Reags you go
DeleteI try to put myself into EVERY piece I write, but I've never felt that one of my works was a masterpiece. How does that compute? Legit question.
DeleteYou must master patience, acceptance in order to seek beauty in your ambience. You must master perceiving knowledge from the left brain and the right brain; being open to beauty from all angles. You must master observation to visualize external beauty only to then quickly master inferring to seek the internal beauty. You must master language and communication to go beyond the known barrier of beauty. You must master all subjects art, science, math, history, sports, and entertainment to find that piece. This hemisphere of paradise is in the eye of the beholder, and you must believe you are the master of your piece, to create a masterpiece.
ReplyDeleteI really liked how you said how you have to use both sides of your brain.
DeleteThanks Rane :)

DeleteThe last line of this is so important, at least to me. It's so much more than the "beauty in the eye of the beholder" phrase, you said it so well when you say that the author should be the beholder in this case in order for a masterpiece to be created. It goes along with the others that made the point about confidence in your work is what helps it become a masterpiece. I love the way you worded this entire post.
DeleteThe way that everything is worded in this explanation is seriously beautiful, and I think you did an amazing job expressing everything you had to say
DeleteThis post is so meaningful and I think most writers can relate to this because you have to dig deep find, or create gold in your writing.

DeleteThat one line is a masterpiece and shall be the title of my non-existent debut album.
I think to truly have a masterpiece, you can't really put it on a scale. As an artist, you always will be improving and what you once thought was a masterpiece could be nothing as you saw it, say, three years earlier. To expand on that, what you once thought was a masterpiece by somebody else could turn out to be nothing as you once thought. Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder, and even though people evolve and their ideas of a masterpiece will change, there's always going to be someone who sees the old work as a masterpiece once more.
ReplyDeleteFlaffle, man. Mediterranean Dish.
DeleteI agree with what Rane said
DeleteI'm with Rane and Jill
DeleteMy artistic jigsaw puzzle is complete, with an extra piece resting on top of the puzzle. A piece that contains everything that is artificial about me; a piece that I constantly find myself hiding behind. It is a piece that masks the rest of the puzzle in shadow. I must remove this piece from the puzzle that is me. It is not easy to lift a piece with the weight of a thousand moons off my puzzle, but I must overcome this challenge and dispose all that is artificial about me. I must end the age of darkness and shed light upon the part of me that is raw; the part of me that is real. Until then, my Rembrandt will be masked by a pile of false art curated by a someone who is not truly me.
ReplyDeleteSo you're saying that your work that you consider to be a masterpiece will be when you create something with your guard down? This is beautiful.

DeleteWhat needs to be mastered to make a masterpiece, in my view, is acceptance. Not a lot of people accept their work or for being themselves and I believe that once you can master acceptance of yourself and others and by truly enjoying what you're writing is the real masterpiece here. I'm really bad at explaining, but I tried.
ReplyDeleteYou worded it perfectly and I agree. *like*
DeleteDoes a masterpiece have to be a work of fiction, or even a work at all? Can you and I be a masterpiece of we stay true to ourselves? If our stories, our memories, and our lives were made into a book, wouldn't that be a masterpiece? Each one of us is unique and original, with different views and beliefs than one another. I believe that that in itself is a beautiful masterpiece.

I'm struggling to discern if this is legitimate example of masterpieces or if you're being facetious. They're cool. Are they art? I'd say yes. Are they MASTERPIECES? I would not say so.
DeleteIts an interesting concept that some array of skills is needed to create a masterpiece. However, I still side with the idea that the only factor that defines a masterpiece is the view of the person that beholds it.
ReplyDeleteNNNOOOOO! You all are leaving me with NO hope. I guess I'll just have to pay someone to call my art a "masterpiece."
DeleteLifestyles of the rich and the famous I suppose...
There is a difference between a fourth grader's work and that of a literary expert. However, this does not make that individual's work better necessarily, it just makes that piece of work different. There is no way to qualitatively access art. whether it is from William Shakespheare or a 12th grade minooka student, art cannot be ranked. The entire category of art is subjective.
DeleteSorry T, Bouie is right, the magnificent thing about art is it is subjective, I feel like you are viewing the word masterpiece or, creating a masterpiece as an achievement for humanity as a whole, i agree that they can have that effect but creating a true masterpiece is more of a personal journey putting your own heart and your own soul into something and even if your soul says, "Dang, Burritos tho" if it connects with someone if it truly inspires someone them it os a masterpiece (is what i was gunna sa before we talked during 20 minutes of lunch)
Deletethen* is* whoops
DeleteI agree with Bouie, although my instinctive pride would be peaked if my own "masterpiece" was a master piece alongside a fourth grader's work. But so what? I like it that way. Let the masterpiece be in the beholder of its claimants and leave it at that. There is no distinction; there is only a vision seen by the beholder himself that no other can see. It was meant to be that way. You can change tradition and you can change your clothes, but you can't transform the universal truth that Beauty IS and forever will be within the eye of the beholder. Yeah, BAM. Behold that comment.

ReplyDeleteA masterpiece to me is something that triggers real emotions from the creator or viewer.
ReplyDeleteManipulaton!? Masterful art is manipulation to you? I'm confused.
ReplyDeleteI believe that a masterpiece is something that can bring emotion, and is remembered by majority of people through time. You can't say you think that something is a masterpiece is a justified masterpiece. It is an opinion but not at the same time. There might not be any masterpieces because 99% of the population can think that one piece of artwork is a masterpiece but the other 1% doesn't. So not only is it opinion it is also how you see art and how you see that one art piece. It is all a matter of how someone and everyone sees art.
ReplyDeleteHow can we make a masterpiece when everyone has their own opinion on something? A master piece is something that everyone likes and there will always be someone who doesn't like it. If you write a poem or a short story a lot of people might like it, and some people won't like it too. The best we can do is just put our blood, sweat, and tears into our works of heart and try your best.
ReplyDeleteThe idea of what is and what is not a masterpiece, I believe, can only be decided by the artist or the viewer of the "masterpiece". Obviously there are pieces of art that are clearly more valuable and more meaningful than others, (i.e. two dots and a line on a piece of notebook paper versus Van Gogh's "The Scream") however there is no strict definition of what is and what is not a masterpiece. I feel that if someone can reach their full creativity potential and create a piece of artwork reflecting that creativity why should that not be considered a masterpiece?
ReplyDeleteThere is a difference between a personal masterpiece and society's idea of a masterpiece. You can create thousands pieces of art throughout your lifetime and when you look back at all of them, you know the exact one that you know is your masterpiece. However, society's view on it will vary from all the different opinions. Many people can call art pieces masterpieces, but that word is just overused and not used in the right way. A masterpiece is a piece of art that is unspokenly amazing. There are no words to express that piece. That piece may win countless awards or no awards at all but there is something about it that makes it more outstanding then the pieces around them. Every piece of art is unique and amazing in its own way, but that doesn't necessarily mean it is a masterpiece.
ReplyDeleteMany things go into what makes a work of art a masterpiece. Unfortunately, there is a slow degradation of one's ability to decipher between an average piece of art and excellence. In our ever-changing society, technology and social media is making art readily available, which inevitably is making art disposable. Similarly, this generation is exposed to the wrongs of society (ie. racism, sexism, homophobia) and that has created a politically correct environment where people are scared to offend others. This makes people more likely to be keen to subjectivity instead of objectivity. So when one is looking at a piece a politically correct person will likely say, "I personally may not see this as a masterpiece, but I can see how it can be interpreted as such." People are afraid of speaking their mind and saying, "This is mediocre, and it will never be a masterpiece". This is why high art is degrading.
ReplyDeleteI like your thoughts here and I just so happen to agree with the notion that compliments are becoming far too common due to the fear of offending another. It has "babied" us, or numbed us to the idea that any art can actually be bad or just plain insignificant. But there it is again--that universal truth that Disney has imprinted into our brains: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It's true, though! But this is exactly why we need be honest. In all that you do, stay true to yourself and have some dignity. Don't fake compliment. You're just wasting everyone's time and energy. People need to know failure. It's gonna happen, folks. Learn to live symbiotically with it or else you might as well live in a box. Brutally honest of me right? At least I'm honest

ReplyDeleteA masterpiece is something that captures every aspect of the thing it is. In terms of poetry and writing, capturing aspects includes ring complex while still being able to understand it, having taste without being cliche, and appealing to someone in some way. It does not need to be liked or approved by all, or even the creator itself, but it will cause some sort of emotion. Whether it be good or bad, as long as something is triggered inside the viewer, and it continues to trigger deep inside the souls of people for centuries to come.
ReplyDeleteI totally love your perspective on this. I really love it.
Deletethanks mary!!
Deletea master piece is something that gives you a feeling that is almost inexpressible. something that takes your breath away. something that takes time. something that is different. it takes creativity, new perspective, dedication and confidence to actually present their work to the world.
ReplyDeleteSo a masterpiece can't exist without emotion?
DeleteI feel you must master patience because a master piece takes time and dedication.
ReplyDeleteCould a masterpiece happen accidentally? Instantaneously?
DeleteI REFUSE to laugh at your joke now that I know that you're trying to solicit my artistic favor! You may not have my praise.
ReplyDeletethis post is giving me some PAWsitive vibes.
ReplyDeleteI think Nolan has a point.... I'm just saying this because of his cat pun. I'm on Nolan's side.
ReplyDeleteWell, when you are listening to a song and all you want to do is disco then technically you are being manipulated yea?
ReplyDeleteI think a masterpiece is hard to be achieved because a masterpiece comes close to perfection, and I'm not even sure what perfection is because I've never seen it.
ReplyDeletewait insert cat pun here* ^.^
ReplyDeleteI think to create a master piece you, as a creator, should believe you're able to make a master piece.
ReplyDeleteWholly agree with this, my friend. Well said.
DeleteIn order for a piece of literature o truly be a masterpiece, a particularly sensitive criteria must be fulfilled. To be a masterpiece, the creator must understand the emotion or theme attempting to be presented and know how articulate them into a comprehensible manner. The theme addressed should not only be accurately presented, but should have significant value. Deciding what is truly significant is left up to the integrity of the writer. There is right and there is wrong. The insertion of artistic elements should be handled carefully, following the proper guidelines pertaining to that specific element. Grammatical capability, although not necessary, is preferable.
ReplyDeleteLet us remember that "master" is not only a noun but an adjective. When in reference to the value of a work of art, all words--including "master"--are adjectives! Am I right or am I right? (There's only one option people)
ReplyDeleteI can't remember my point here^
