Does not require of you anything except your acknowledgement that it exists. True Art, like true love, is timeless, faithful, and exists independantly of the lovers. Artists give to the world, that part of their soul that demands to be shared. Artists create so that someone, somewhere will say that they have seen that, or felt that, or wanted to do that. And those of us that love art have no choice but to appreciate those very personal efforts.
Art is a lonely existence.
Art is not a team sport. So an artist must have a thick skin to go with their open heart. For the world does not always have the ability or the desire to see inside themselves or to peer into the soul of another. Encourage, criticize, chastise, editorialize .
