A review by alexkersbergen
Create Dangerously by Albert Camus

4.0

Create dangerously is an incredible well-thought out speech about artists creations. About freedom and how to use it. Camus talks in depth about the importance of taking risks in art. For a true artist, in his opinion (how I interpreted it) is able to make something abstract but still create meaning for the watcher. Whatever meaning that may be.

Is realism the end goal in art? Isn’t the end goal to make people feel something? Isn’t that why suffering is talked about so loudly and commonly in art for that is what every human has in common with each other?

I really enjoyed reading these tree speeches. I am well aware however that I wasn’t always aware of what I was reading but most of it really spoke to me (especially the first speech). I’ll probably return to this book someday.
