Re: Sex [was Re: Basic intro (OT)]
I'm sure that people were arguing about painting like this back when
Impressionism was coming up. As long as people keep asking "What the @#$
is
Art?" I think Art will still be interesting, and providing people with
stuff
they didn't expect. The introduction of new technology, just like
faster-drying paint, always brings a new crop of people into the fold -
some
of which fade into obscurity or mediocrity, and some whose work lasts; all
of these folks have different motivations for doing whatever it is.
And yes, I've found it a great deal of fun in the past to create, after
sex.
Studies have shown that the endorphines/etc flowing about in the aftermath
can encourage creativity.
