(1) Thanks. 🙂
(2) What? No. Mamish can’t even see how you could interpret what I said as such. This is really what my ideas are founded on, don’t see how I can explain this further.
(3) My point is that in something with artistic value, the content is not as important as the way it is presented/arrived at. The message can (thought not necessarily) detract if presented in a way where the message is weighted more than method.
(4) Right, though about “doing” Art–I was trying more to present an approach to Art in general. And although as a Jew, I obviously use my inherited values as an anchor, I tried to state that bit of manifesto as generally as possible because I think it applies to all people (though the parenthetical is specific to our values, I guess). yep
