"Individuality of expression is the beginning and the end of art." -Wolfgang Von Gothe

To me, this quote means many things.  It describes a very authentic view of art and the idea of how it is created and for whom.  When I look at this quote it makes me feel as if art is never ending.  And that is the truth.  There will never be a time when art is no longer changing, growing, and being produced.  No matter how much art is created, it will never be finished.

Art is the one thing that cannot be ended or destroyed.  No matter what, there will always be a new idea to try, or a new way of looking at an old work of art.  Ideas cannot be stopped, and likewise neither can art.  This is possible because each mind is uniquely different and will always have original thoughts and ideas.  To express one's thought is this movement toward new and uncharted territory.

Even though an idea may have been announced or thought of before, it will always be slightly new due to the variations of the mind.  In this way, art cannot be ended.  It will always have growth and continue to inspire each and every person in a new and interesting way.
