Soulless?

[Pwwhitley@zzzzzzz]

But Clive...Picasso did stay nailed.  Not that Pollock  was one-on-one the
greater artist...Police has no where near the depth  of Picasso.  I don't think
that's what the game is about...isn't it a  generational thing, "the king must
die, long live the king?"

Being the height of fashion was important to Michelangelo, too.

I'm not suggesting that name recognition is what it's all about, but no one
would argue that it hurts the sale of work.  The best jobs went to the
Pharoh's favorites.

Most of us, it appears, do the work we do because it pleases us to do  it.
There are practical considerations in life that each of us deals with  in
his/her own way...but the sculpture is done without  compromise.  Or with
compromise, if we choose to do it so.  With stone  tools.  Or with CNC, if we choose to
do it so.

And the work carries with it its own intent, whether or not it coincides
with the its maker's intent.  Certain works, like the Venus of  Willendorf, will
always be great artworks whether or not we remember  the artist or the
artist's intent.
