A great piece of art is composed not just of what is in the final piece, but equally what is not. It is the discipline to discard what does not fit—to cut out what might have already cost days or even years of effort—that distinguishes the truly exceptional artist and marks the ideal piece of work, be it a symphony, a novel, a painting, a company, or most important of all, a life.

“Toward the end of my work on this painting, a friend stopped by my studio. “That’s where I want to go when I die,” she said. “Into the upper-right-hand corner.”“
