Compare her to Gregory Amenoff and there is no contest, in my opinion. That said, her comment is thoughtful enough, even if the insight is obvious.<BR/><BR/>Fischl's response sounds more intelligent, but, as you point out, is ultimately wanting. How can one replace the unknown with the known? It's impossible. There will always be more unknown. (That sounds retarded.) Anyway....<BR/><BR/>I tend to agree with you. Most artists are rather inarticulate and, often, when they do manage to articulate something clearly, it proves to be the product of a seemingly average mind...certainly nothing as profound as they make it out to be.<BR/><BR/>But I've wised up in recent years. There are plenty of brilliant artists out there, individuals capable of writing (or discussing) challenging ideas and arriving at intelligent conclusions. The comment boards over at Edward Winkleman's blog often prove as much.<BR/><BR/>So, even if you're on the verge of throwing out the artists with the starlets - are they the same these days? - hold on...some of us might have something worthwhile to say. ;)Hungry Hyaenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06354349850246750046noreply@blogger.com
