Among other thought provoking things, the author writes, “And that’s the thing about art: sometimes it is ugly and vulgar and even poorly crafted, but those are not the qualities that determine its true quality. Good art does more than just liven up the room, provide pigeons a place to roost, or moulder away in some gallery. Art should make you think and question, it should challenge your way of looking at the world around you by offering you a view of that world from a perspective outside your own.”
Which expresses what has been occurring to me as I struggle to paint.
That it is about what I would like to express. That while I am busy trying to reproduce some photograph, the art is in what the particular image has to say.
