Some interesting views here.
When reading this kind of thing on art I sometimes recall the English writer Alexi Sayle.
He said "I left art school when I realised that no matter how good an artist you were, unless you had a good patron, and could talk for hours on end, waffling on meaninglessly about the work that you had just created, you would never make a successful artist."
It's also possibly he was not very good.
Cheers.
