The Art of Anish Kapoor (Inspired by Just Mercedes)

[tectak]

Tom,

Your making a mountain out of a mal mot (I hate French, do you have something against me?) What altruism? I don't need no stinking altruism...Deep breath... What I meant was that the "artist" was attempting to use the mental working of the observer to make what he had built turn into art, that only the observer could make it art. I disagree with the complete concept of that notion. Although beyond any rational definition, real art (or however one wishes to label it) stands on its own, and something in the observer responds to that creation: there is no co-creation. Is the Mona Lisa waiting for me to make it art? What a ridiculous notion. Nearly everybody responds to "Starry Night", many do so even when misapprehending what it actually is, thinking it is a storm, not a night scene. Still, it speaks to a universality in all of us. Can we define it? No. But, as they say, we know it when we see it, and that has nothing to do with co-creation....

Jesus Christ, just say the rhyme was forced and I would probably agree with you. If I had the luxury to go to Gardonne beside Lake Garda (where the hell that is), I would be most grateful, as I don't and never will, this obviates me from ever needing to express any such gratitude. Ah Tom, do you enjoy dangling a carrot that I will never taste in front of my face. You are a cruel boy.    
Vainglorious, yes a perfect word for him indeed. Why should I not talk to you about art, after all post modernism is just boys whistling in the dark to keep their courage up. Anyway I send you a Kapoor that reminded me of you.      Dale

 

Oh alright then. Have it your own way. The rhyme was forced.
Best,
