I think this well speaks to YOUR sensibility which sounds very generous
but does not allow that there are many others, other ways and focusses
towards art, or what we are getting at here as meaning "art"
or meaning "meaning"!
when you speak of practicalities ---- isnt' that what it comes down to, when
each artist person is working with their particular
possibilities/talents/means/leanings
so that if one might wish to enter into the "abstract" --- that is
just as fine an avenue as "concrete" and off the street? could
even refer to the same end, simply from an other view
I don't think it is so easy for everyone, as sometimes you feel it should be
--- and to call grappling with dilemmas like this simply a sort of
fretting "anxiety" ---- well, just adds another fret to MY anxiety!!
