Advice to Budding Artists #satie #surrealism

Eccentric French composer Erik Satie, once wrote an article giving advice to young artists about how to organize their lives:

I rise at 7:18; inspired from 10:23 to 11:47. I lunch at 12:11 and leave the table at 12:14. A salutary promenade on horseback, within the grounds of my park from 1:19 to 2:53.

Another inspiration from 3:12 to 4:07. Diverse occupations (fencing, reflection, immobility, visits, contemplation, dexterity, swimming, et cetera) from 4:21 to 6:47. I go to bed regularly at 10:37.

This like, the bizarre diet he proposed is often quoted as an example of his quirky personality - but he was a surrealist and this is a send-up of those aristocratic artistic dabblers who did have their own grounds to ride their horses in, as Satie and his circle of Bohemian creatives certainly did not.

I have a prior conflict, could I schedule my inspiration for 4:37 instead?

Oh I must tell all my artist friends that we’ve been riding our horses in our parks at the wrong hour 😂🙄

I was thinking... This is the most out of touch person I've ever heard in my life.

What ever happened to working 12 hours a day with hardly any food.
