His entire argument seems to hinge on the idea that the difference between a good artist and a bad artist is that the better artist has better taste. Which is complete and utter bullshit. The good artist is good because he has the skill to better express his taste, not because his taste itself is superior. He can create things that are more beautiful (a technical skill), but only for his own sense of beauty. -- Rainer Deyke - [email protected]
