All About The Artist – Part 179
-"We, as people, are so used to what we have been taught, told, shown, or dictated to admire and to follow, that anything new, unique and rare scares us to the point of not paying any attention to what is better or even greater than us... We don't appreciate it, but ignoring it - just watching it die in its own disappearance of suffering and struggle as we simply pass it by and watch it die... without any public support. Until the right time for it comes along of course and it becomes something like "the national treasure"..., but then - it is too late..., the talent is gone... leaving its works behind, but the full creative use for the ginious of that life is lost... and simply because this or that uniqueness just wasn't what is going on at this or that time that is actually related to the market that makes those mighty $$$'s... We so often kill what we don't understand or accept as a part of our cultural society progress... And then, - we only remember those great names and talents and their creative works way after they are perished... Oh well, then we admire those blessed souls, build the monuments to them, write books about them, make movies and so on... Ha.., - how blind, unwise, selfish, pretentious, hypocritical and ungrateful we are..." www.artofpalev.com
