Thursday, July 7, 2011. The purpose of painting. Since I was invited to jury a show, I've been thinking about what makes a good painting, or what makes one painting better than another one.

An experience I had with one of my students, reveals to me why art work based on content, in the "right" context with flawless technique is ignored or meets with only minimal attention. The content was fantasy bordering on soft-core pornography...
