A creative artist works on his next composition because he was not satisfied with his previous one.
I don't think I differentiate between composition and improvisation. Improvisation could be a large part of a composition.
The question of the composition of perceptible objects is one which already occupied the mind of the ancient Greeks.
The images are compositions of photos superimposed over painted backgrounds, then finished off with digital alterations.
My vocation is more in composition really than anything else - building up harmonies using the guitar, orchestrating the guitar like an army, a guitar army.
Sometimes when you record an album in the end, there are things here and there you regret production wise or in composition.
From building a fire one can learn something about artistic composition. If you use only small kindling and large logs, the fire will quickly eat up the small pieces but will not become strong enough to attack the large ones. You must supply a scale of sizes from the smallest to the largest. The human eye also will not make its way into a painting or building unless a continuum of shapes leads from the small to the large, from the large to the small.
Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men.

A considerable role in the forming of my style was played by an early attraction to study composition.
I know that the materials found on the streets is rich and wonderful, but my experience is that the way I am accustomed to work, slowly planning my composition etc. is not suited for such work. By the time I have the composition or expression right, the picture is gone. I guess I want to do the impossible and therefore I do nothing.
A journalist is supposed to present an unbiased portrait of an event, a view devoid of intimate emotions. This is impossible, of course. The framing of an image, by its very composition, represents a choice. The photographer chooses what to show and what to exclude.
My greatest lesson in composition was looking at paintings.
I am excessively slothful, and wonderfully industrious-by fits. There are epochs when any kind of mental exercise is torture, and when nothing yields me pleasure but the solitary communion with the 'mountains & the woods'-the 'altars' of Byron. I have thus rambled and dreamed away whole months, and awake, at last, to a sort of mania for composition. Then I scribble all day, and read all night, so long as the disease endures.
The Japanese put houses in among the trees and allowed nature to gain the ascendancy in any composition.
Now, to consult the rules of composition before making a picture is a little like consulting the law of gravity before going for a walk.
You cannot separate the composition from the life of the moment. It is all one thing, to be decided in a split second while you're living through it.
I have found that meditation has helped me with my academic career and has given me insights into musical composition and software design.
There is no field other than the weird in which I have any aptitude or inclination for fictional composition. Life has never interested me so much as the escape from life.
