I think they are what they are.<br /><br />Windowlad ~ I agree that there is natural art all around us - but the 'ishoo' here is mankinds skill to portray his art, his vision, on canvas, as sculpture, etc. It takes great talent and sometimes genius is apparent.<br /> <br /> ...........<br /><br />If I played the piano badly - I would just be playing it badly. The ability to play, even if badly, does not make me a musician or a composer.<br /><br />Some, certainly not all, contemporary artists are purely (very clever in their own way) conmen (and women) who have sucked in the prententious few who lord over the art world.<br /><br />It makes me want to weep that the true artist has been sidelined as even the world of art succumbs to 'dumbing down'.<br /><br />I shall now attempt to visit the many unread Magpies - but don't know whether I will be able to leave a comment - I have had to post this to myself via the excellent Bad Medicine blog.<br /><br />Fingers crossed it is published!<br /><br />Anna :o]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139696084392272622.post-72620823122507925612011-07-09T21:25:08.784+01:002011-07-09T21:25:08.784+01:00I love the notion of pickled sheep.
