    art is made only with the intention of inventing and creating, as in
    the def.- to produce as a work of thought or imagination,, bring
    into being, etc.  Critisism may be distressing at times, but it is
    more appropriate than sentimental partisanship which applauds
    everything it sees and is unjust in it's failure to differentiate.  
    My acrimonious feelings on this topic are not aimed at all those in
    the buisness that feel they must create or die poor.  I blame it on
    the rich(fashion industry) who serve the riche to keep the big bucks
    coming in by overpricing what amounts to,, findings with stones
    thrown in, or visa versa, by using huge media advertising(mags) and
    hallmark "names"(chanel etc.).  I studied art history on my own(no
    college art history), have met very few that have the grasp that i
    have, but i do attribute much of my SIGHT to former masters that i
    have studied with,, and also draw my personal greatness and success
    in my work(design and craftsmanship) from 35 years meditating on the
    medium and emulating the ones i have mentioned,, van gogh,, chaim
    soutine,, victor horta,, sullivan and elmslie,, hector guimard,,
    gaudi,, riemerschmid,, galle, obrist, endell, shang and western chou
    dynasties,, fauvism,, celtic works, hendrix, dylan, joplin
    etcetcetc. Can i leave you with a line in a letter from vincent to
    theo(with regards to portrait painting),,  " The question is whether
    one starts from the soul or from the clothes, and whether the form
    serves as a clothspeg for ribbons and bows, or if one considers the
    form as the means of depicting impression and sentiment, or if one
    models for the sake of modeling because it is so infinitely
    beautiful in itself.  Only the first is transitory, the latter two are both 
    high art . dp
