A million pictures.
I just finished reading Kurt Vonnegut's book "A Man Without A Country". It's enjoyable, and an enjoyably quick read as well. A great little book with great insight.
But right at the end there is some great insight for any visual artist or appreciator of visual art. (or of any art come to think of it, but it's simpler this way.) It isn't even something Vonnegut said or wrote. He had asked the painter Syd Solomon how to tell a good picture from a bad one. He said, "Look at a million pictures, and you can never be mistaken."
Now that should take care of the complaints I've been getting to update my blog. I apologize that I haven't been keeping it up to date. Hopefully you'll hear more from me soon.
