I do not know why someone who is a 'big important artist' would be afraid to post here. If they are secure in their abilities, what would be the problem?

In the past, it seems, that major artists had no qualms about bashing about, especially when it came to art and artists they disliked or disagreed with. Thank heavens they did ,as there would be a paucity of information about their life and times.
