So I suppose all artists should have Miller in their studios to tell them what's important and what's not. In Courbet's great allegorical painting of his studio he shows a small boy watching him paint. Courbet never explained this painting but scholars have assumed the artist meant the boy to represent the innocent-eyed future that would appreciate his paintings
How do you know that? You learned it from an art teacher, didn't you? Maybe we should have a test -- to find out why -- Corbett painted it -- maybe the boy was telling Coorbet to watch out for the edge of the painting or -- else the paint will sail off the edge and never come back. Like those dotted painting in Roy Boy's gallery.
