if art really matters

"Share your opinions, create alternatives, laud what you feel is universally good.  Someone else might disagree, then you have a great conversation - depending on temperments.  Here's to good, intense conversations about art. " Derma.

I agree with this so much that I can't even find words for how I feel. Here's to conversation created by differing opinions, by interested minds, and by alternate avenues for individual tastes and likes. How many artists have been ignored in 'their own time' only to be famous now? How much GREAT work has been designated as foolhardy and not worth the while only to be lauded as the ultimate at a later date in history. The continuation for the sublime in every generation is an aquistion that should live on in healthy argument forever!! I love a good disagreement as long as all parties can do so without anger and I never get angry over someones opinion because I realize, 'that I have my own as well' but I love the talk that has been generated over this subject matter. It is stimulating and has given me a learning experience that I would otherwise be deprived of.

I love the difference of opinions on this site and the feeling that we may all express our opinions without hesitation!!
