At least this week, that is. ;-)<br /><br />Anyway, good art is one which has been produced by a double-blind process. That is, neither the artist nor the publisher is aware that art is being created.ttlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-17419013691089799362011-03-21T19:19:21.536+00:002011-03-21T19:19:21.536+00:00Yes, it's a good point.

To many people, bad art is not art.Eolake Stobblehousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07126147415891586345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-7908743673085544722011-03-21T19:07:44.320+00:002011-03-21T19:07:44.320+00:00Well,I've never liked the idea of distinguishi...Well,I've never liked the idea of distinguishing between "serious art" and whatever isn't serious art. You end up placing restrictions on creativity, which is practically a sin in my book. And we all got different preferences. That's one reason I don't like critics, I always feel like they're trying to tell me what I should like and why I should like it.<br /><br />Basically, I agree with Philocalist. If I like it, then not much else matters to me.Jesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-27545689128767573522011-03-21T10:51:21.609+00:002011-03-21T10:51:21.609+00:00Found a mother lode of Edouard Cortes paintings, h...Found a mother lode of Edouard Cortes paintings, <a href="http://thurly.net/14eo" rel="nofollow">here</a>.
