Alimondo Ciampi's Creed
WHOEVER HAS THE FORTUNE TO HAVE TALENT
MUST ALSO HAVE THE TALENT TO HAVE FORTUNE.
Only the artist has truly managed to separate the idea of work from the idea of profit,
yet is not always able to sustain this separation of principles.
ART COMES FROM TRUE MASTERS OF ART, NOT FROM THE UNGIFTED!
AND IT SHOULD NOT BE SOLD BY THE UNSCRUPULOUS TO THE UNCERTAIN!
The world was not created only once,
but every time an original artist appears.
ART MUST COMFORT THE DISTURBED
AND DISTURB THE COMFORTABLE.
The Alimondo Ciampi Foundation supports art therapy in Italy.
