Ars Latetrs Latet, the art is hidden, from the latin:
lătĕo, es, latŭi, latēre, being hidden, covered, concealed, protected, sheltered, being safe, living retired or quietly,  being unknown, to escape.
The art is difficult to find out, to be recognized, to be expressed clearly. This difficulty, far to be a negative character, has an important role: it saves the art itself, which is protected and hence free to continue to be. Naves latent portu, ships are hidden and protected inside the harbor, Hor..
Ars latet was given to me by my friend M. A. Passarelli, she was inspired by the Ovidio sentence: Ars latet arte sua, true art consists in concealing its artfulness; true art let us experience an emotion as derived by a real vision.
