Four Brothers of Art: Cultivating the Higher Ego of the Artist

Mr. Chekhov truly believed that all forms of art, and even all forms of inspired state of action/acting had 4 feelings to it:

Beauty
Ease
Entirety
Form

These four feelings, as it pertains to the artist, is about cultivating the emotional life of the artist! They are about cultivating the Higher Ego of the artist!

In this video, you will see one way of exercising these principles. There are countless ways to cultivate these four feelings of art. I highly recommend that before doing the exercise, that you practice the axiom, "Know Thy Self!" Know your limits and work slowly toward cultivating these four feelings.

When you view anything with a feeling of beauty (pleasure, satisfaction) the feeling of ease tends to appear, and when it does you start to cultivate a feeling of entirety (wholeness, completion) and as a result, creative-inspired forms are being formed by you as you work!

When something is not working the way you desire it - ask yourself: Where's the BEEF (Beauty, Ease, Entirety, Form)?
