A gloating theory of art, the sum is greater than its parts. Notoriously hard image to draw, and the despondent version is just going to be more finicky.
"People who think there is anything new in the arts are idiots"
Avigdor Arikha
Witty sayings and smiling ideas has always taken me out of my comfort zone, but that's life. But it’s never yielded a proven treatment.
Are art pranks art?
Philosophy of art disdains practicality.
We have identities, and several idioticities. It's all about perception, be obsessed by your art.
Edward Said
