The subject of aesthetics would be good to discuss at some point, but under
a different thread. My interest in this thread has waned -- not because
you didn't bring up an interesting subject, but because if we are going to
discuss art criticism, I'd rather discuss the ideas of art critics, such as
Susan Sontag and Robert Atkins.

I'm not sure where you picked up. I find that it is difficult to separate
art from the artist when considering motivation and/or theory. It seems to
be my practice to link art with the artist (surely in filmmaking, music,
visual arts, literature, poetry, etc.)
