I like picture like this.
Last week, I read about a nobel man,,,,, who according to the article is an artist.
He runs free painting & art workshops for ex-prisoners, HIV patients, unemployed, the destitute. He says art is a form of theraphy, which i fully agree and applaud. What i had to "party-poop" here is that the things he does for those people are not art! Come on,,, painting on clay or wooden templates on mass fabricated materials are what,,,, art & craft. Not art. He went on to say about how he also consults his teacher from Paris etc. If that piece of thing did not stir or intrigue you,, how can it be loosely called art. (note that i didn't end with a question mark)
Of course his efforts goes a thousand miles, but it is not art.
