I can imagine though some future masters rigorously defining and elevating the techniques of the mud throwing school. Do you not like any graffiti art ? Rap music ? What about Eminem ? I didn't mean to summarily dismiss form and techniques though; it is after all the vessel that carries the message. It's the restriction to certain "valid" forms that I am against. Art history is full of examples of bastard forms that become much appreciated high art at a later time. - - Phong - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
