Oh yes, I could.<br /><br />Not sure I like the idea that art to be art must be a gift. I don't not like it, so instead, I disagree. And I would be suspect of any artist who thought his or her work was a gift. <br /><br />I think, creating art, however big however small, is like going through a birth process.

It's one of those ideas you "get" immediately upon hearing, don't you think? I hear "one's way of being in the world" in a similar way, tho' it's probably more nuanced. Great point about the rooster! <br /><br />Jean, thanks. I didn't want to have to tweak the meds again. <br /><br />PA, all three? Thanks so much. Good lord, you know a lot of stuff. I must say, I think I understand the argument about P's truth. It's the gift part that's a problem. I see his "truth" as plausible--even as a gift -- except that it's all brain, no heart. Does that hold water as a perspective in art criticism?Banjo52https://www.blogger.com/profile/04342397136888422440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883979841111173610.post-36434330928295326262010-12-08T16:20:20.469-05:002010-12-08T16:20:20.469-05:00Picasso's is a developed language.

One that takes advantage of multiple perspectives in his later figurative work. That is 'truth' even if you see the gal as a pig which (mind you) lots of feminist perceived Piccasso to be. A misogynist pig whose hate for women can be seen in the ugliness of his depictions of them. Another "truth" So whose on trial, Truth, Beauty or Picasso?<br /><br /> <br />remember...<a href="http://pasadenaadjacent.com/2010/06/16/he-was-only-53-but-girls-could-not-resist-his-stare/" rel="nofollow">he was only 5'3" but girls could not resist his stare</a> Personally, I love his bullish break down<br /><br />BTW: Barnett Newman is the best "go to" guy for pithy quotes.

Nay. <br />And if a surgeon attached hand to the top of her head, wiggling fingers and all, wouldn't she look like a rooster?<br /><br />Lovely to see you back. Have missed you!
