I don't like Sargent. Everything appears to be 'tossed off', bravura arrogance is a bore. Too much dash. No wabi sabi. Japanese have this thing where too much evident professionalism is considered suspect in a work. The celebrate the amateur for the love they bring to the subject.
ReplyDeleteJust thought I'd letcha know....:)
Really? Skill and talent are over rated? I'd sooner have a Sargent on my wall than a Tracey Emmin or Damin Hurst. Being an amateur artist shouldn't be celebrated. There is too much tosh in this world already. I celebrate the skilled and the talented, otherwise everyone's an artist therefore no one is.
DeleteAmen.
