hence the danger of complimenting artists. Supposedly, the only
good artist is a suffering artist. A confident and happy artist
is a scammer. How true is this? I dunno. Seems to be an
elaborate justification for critics to be mean and cruel to
artists. "It's good for you that we tear apart your work, piece
by piece. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger you know and
we're improving the art world by being assholes".
Oh well. I dunno much about much. wait.. I think I just
described the state of Education as well. Replace artist with
student and critic with teacher. Yeah. I think I just unlocked
Common Core and their new "theory" of "Grit". *sigh*.
Also applies to standard military breakdown/rebuild techniques.
Maybe they're right. I hope they're wrong. Still, are critics
making an Artist Army?
