My ex was an artist; thus, I spent a lot of time around a lot of other artists. I saw two types: ones who had a sense of color, form, or rhythm and the ones who wrote lengthy explanations so that "normal" people could understand what the piece was trying to say. Needless to say, the first group created works that spoke for themselves; the second group would be likely to put a block of clay on a pedestal, squeeze it a couple of times, then write a thesis saying that this piece, called "Pressure", spoke about how the artist felt pressures from society to conform, the pressure to finish works of art on time, the pressure to sell out, etc. [img]graemlins/dontknowaboutyou.gif[/img]

There are fine artists, and then there are con artists. [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]
