"The greatest artists know how to create a distance from their subjects." Is this considered a fundamental truth, a given? Or is this merely one man's (likely quite learned) opinion? Was old Leonardo truly distant from his subject in the Mona Lisa (just to pick one old chestnut). Or is that not an example of a great artist?
I also think the greatest artists know when not to create a distance from their subjects, but I freely admit to knowing absolutely nothing about art history, or even art for that matter.
