The Mind Creative
Hopeful - that I will soon get an invitation to an event where I
might come across a few artists who are willing to raise a call to
arms; to come forth and do what they do best and be true to the
call of creativity. These true ‘creatives’ might just be able to
foreshadow the end of the ersatz connoisseurs. At one such
event, I might in fact be able to say loudly that art does need
the umbrella of patronage to flourish but it definitely does not
need the taint of make-belief authority.
To quote a close friend and artist, known for his crude and yet,
philosophical remarks, “True art does not need the air of the
airy-fairy neither does it need the fart of the arty-farty”.
Sounds uncouth?
But then many truths of the world do tend to sound impolite.
