Good article? Must read? You've got to be kidding! All is it says is  
"don't listen to critics", in case you're to precious and fragile to  
take it because you have no confidence in yourself. What  
pusillanimous and shallow nonsense. Cezanne and Van Gogh were not  
afraid of criticism; Van Gogh valued the critiques he got from  
Gaugain. To read this silly article, on would think that an artist  
does not need critiques or can benefit from good critics. Indeed, the  
role of criticism is important.
