On Art and Technique

This is just a brief thought I had on the widespread idea of the artist as a bohemian, untidy, and disorganized human being embracing talent and creativeness and inspiration.

Of course, in art there is more space for these elements than in other disciplines. Nonetheless, maybe it's obvious to the ones who have tried to improve their artistic skills that this means to improve your perseverance and ability of reasoning in the terms of the subject.

In short, every art deals with techinque as much as any science deals with a certain amount of folly and inventive capacities.

Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself , I am large, I contain multitudes. (Walt Whitman)
