joe...yes i do understand what kandinsky is saying.

.and i absolutely adore paul klee..

.i repeat i love a bit of theory..i write a bit myself... i like writing as an 
expressive force.

.i know what you are saying tis true..the art stands before ya..yes indeed.

..if an artist choose to write don't knock him..it's okay..you don't get it but 
some do.

.. none of us are on trial joe.

.we do what we do cos we need to do it.

.otherwise what is there to do... ??????..you cannot set rules to expression!

Merle,

I don't *know* why they can't talk, Merle.

In Kandinsky's case, I gave him the chance.  I don't see why there's such a 
fuss.

What I write still goes: he could have summed-up in a paragraph.  A picture is 
worth a thousand words, but when the words are keeping him away from making 
pictures, the world loses.  The words don't "cut" it, for me.  At least, not 
HIS words especially.  Do you mean to tell me you actually sat through his 
whole boring book?  I doubt it, totally and seriously!  Tell us, now: did you 
really?

All those other artists you have been suggesting, as if they were new to me, 
are fine feathered friends who I stood in front of many times in museums in my 
home town.  We all go 'way back.  I have picture books, too, like the rest of 
us.  Their work is Jake, by me!

By the way, most Scientists are as bad writers as most Artists.  Now, some 
Artists, called Writers, are pretty good at their writing, and they are the 
exception.  I tip a hat to them!

We'll see how Bill! and Edgar fill the bill, when it comes to writing, once we 
have their books in hand.  At this group site, their writing is pretty fine.  
We just had a week or so of examples of Edgar's fiction, for example.  What 
say, now?
