For those of us who are interested in Art, and all the many ways that art is presented to us, there can be a mistaken belief that the 'artist' is the centre of attraction.
It's a good thing to value the person, yet also good to keep in mind that the artist is like a messenger who portrays the gifts received.
This is where the Creative Mind is seen through those who have the courage to listen and follow the inspirations given to them.
Perhaps this is why all true artists are humble people, almost embarrassed by the fame that is attributed to them.
In one sense, we are all artists because we have the ability to appreciate and enjoy the work of the artist whether it is a painting / a song/ a play etc.
Without an audience, the actors play to an empty house. Yet, with a good audience the actors can be inspired to greatness.
Let pure ART, not praise, be our gauge for truth.
