Marvin, you in NO WAY offended me ... and, I certainly didn't want to offend you! I must have come across stronger than I intended in my last posting.
It's just that I'm not sure where you draw the line in the continuum between "Art" (written large) and that which is created visually with great skill.
It seems to me that you're saying there is a point at which craftsmanship simply stops being craftsmanship and moves into another realm. No one can argue with you on that. If that's so, that's what I'm saying too!
The only thing I've been trying to add along the way is that I also appreciate elements of insight and fine craftsmanship that can be found in the works of nonobjective artists as well as those of us who are representational. As individuals we will all draw our lines a little differently. So be it.
This string has been very seductive. I think I'll sign off from it for now. Thank you all for sharing. I really mean that.
