no...but a majority of the reasons for doing so points in that general direction. That's a leap that I think very few could make. I know a lot of >people have pushed forward the idea that painting and sculpture are dead, >regardless of the title, but I think that judging from the number of >painters and sculptures out there those people are far from right. > just because there are alot of painters and sculpters doesn't make it any more or less obsolete. there are alot of people that think the world was created 6000 years ago. >> >> A Profusion of Painting, Very Much Alive >> >> May 10, 2002 >> By ROBERTA SMITH >> i'm sorry but this article proves my point. you think this is a serious evaluation? even when using the word "passe'"? not to say there can't be good painters or whatever but there is apparent difficulty with any kind of serious evaluation of it, and Roberta smith's article is a case in point. this sort of thing is predominant. moreover being obsolete as means of communication does not = death. ~M.E.
