A Curious Thought
January 27th, 2009Whenever I do a project, after a while I get sick of seeing it, depending on how long it's taking me to do it. I'm also more apt to be able to find the flaws in my own work, that no one else would really know just looking at it, but that I despise.
A good artist knows however never to tell what it is about their work they hate...otherwise it just draw attention to that detail and though the person viewing your art before may have loved it, they now too also see that flaw.
Anyways, onto my thought: I wonder if Monet Claude or Keith Haring ever looked at their work at just hated seeing it after a while. That or what flaws they maybe saw in their own work that they would never tell anyone else.

I wonder what Edvard Munch truly thinks of his work The Scream. I wonder if he ever got tired of seeing it at all.
Though, you know, just because we see a flaw in our own work, or really just truly hate it, doesn't mean that everyone else won't love it.
Think about it.
Maybe try it.
Draw something, and even if you hate it let others see it. Don't mention your own thought on the work, and if they do say you love it. See what they say. Hmm, I wonder...
