You may find what you were looking for or something else or nothing at all. You may not look for but find. But once you recognize you find, you found. <br />Now selling this is totally different. Now you (directly or indirectly through outhers) have others make BELIEVE you found. In this process you may lose yourself again or lose your findings or both: but if you manage to make believe you have a product.<br />This is were the critic comes in. Critics want their share. Access to the market means, that you have to bribe your way in: how does not matter. You fail: there goes your finding / product. <br />The „path“ is nothing but success and be it post-mortal like i.e. van Gogh or Vivian M. <br />And whatever you do - you need a sharp mind (otherwise you may just become a phenomenon - like Vivian M.

From memory it was something like,<br />1. What was the artist trying to do?<br />2. Did they achieve that?<br />3. Was it worth doing?<br /><br />I find they seem to be generic enough to apply to all art and also help me point to why I don't like something. It also helps me with ending up with opinions like "I'm not sure this is my thing but I'm glad it exists"Daniel Knoreply@blogger.com
