A Blind Man Can Make Art If

Buying Books Was A Way Anyone Could Acquire A Work Of Art For Very Little.

Once It Is Out Of His Hand The Artist Has No Control Over The Way A Viewer Will Perceive The Work. Different People Will Understand The Same Thing In A Different Way.

Also, Since Art Is A Vehicle For The Transmission Of Ideas Through Form, The Reproduction Of The Form Only Reinforces The Concept. It Is The Idea That Is Being Reproduced. Anyone Who Understands The Work Of Art Owns It. We All Own The Mona Lisa.

Banal Ideas Cannot Be Rescued By Beautiful Execution.

When Words Such As Painting And Sculpture Are Used, They Connote A Whole Tradition And Imply A Consequent Acceptance Of This Tradition, Thus Placing Limitations On The Artist Who Would Be Reluctant To Make Art That Goes Beyond The Limitations.
