Shannon, my sincere apologies - I'm not picking on you. Your interest in
posting this is sincere and earnest, and I don't wish to negate that.
But, I'd like to ask: at what point did it become necessary for artists to
also be intellectuals?? To a very great extent, the two "disciplines" (for
lack of a better word) are mutually exclusive. And, I'd like to get clear:
are we discussing ideas which serve images - or are we discussing images
which serve ideas?? To me, the difference is an important one....
Best - Jon
