If this is the sort of stuff you write... you'll find me lurking araound your blog.<BR/><BR/>I tend to agree with you about the minor artists such as myself. Historically, many great artists, poets, writers, also happened to be braggarts. <BR/>Not all, some did do a lot of talking about themselves. Just that their talent and abilities and talking, all of it was backed by a body of work, no one could argue with. For example Da Vinci.<BR/>The problem is with those, who feel insecure about their ability. Thus they talk about nothing and with nothing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4996632091300076185.post-61517010805251649162008-07-17T16:49:00.000-07:002008-07-17T16:49:00.000-07:00Lisa-I actually agree with you as well, the way a ...Lisa-I actually agree with you as well, the way a person describes or doesn't describe themselves is huge. I joke around a lot but really, in the end, the ideas we suggest to others about ourselves are some of the most important things we can offer...in some ways it's ok to consider what and how someone else will think/receive us.<BR/><BR/>Steve-I'm sneaking over to go see what I sparked or what you decided to blog about. Chicken and egg theory I suppose. :DRisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16582122840116012400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4996632091300076185.post-27522447415108673392008-07-17T15:14:00.000-07:002008-07-17T15:14:00.000-07:00I think I get you.

It *is* hard to articulate, but one does meet an awful lot of full-of-shit artists-who-aren't-artists in creative circles. <BR/><BR/>In fact, I think you just gave me a blog post.

I think that painters ...Actually, I agree with you. I think that painters and writers who NEED to continually talk about and explain their work are inherently insecure and their work probably is lacking.<BR/><BR/>I think that both art and literary critics completely over-intellectualize whatever they're reviewing and inject all kinds of intent that the artist/writer probably was oblivious to.<BR/><BR/>Now, whether or not a person "claims" artist or poet or writer for themselves -- I don't really care either way, although how a person describes herself really is pretty telling. Do they think too highly of what they're doing? Not enough?<BR/><BR/>Even after making a living at painting for over 20 years, Scott still refers to himself as a painter (as opposed to an artist).<BR/><BR/>Great thoughts and actually, I followed your line of thinking perfectly.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00665632105920753931noreply@blogger.com
