"Like most things of value that we need to learn in life we have to practice, be present and be absolutely ready to be stupid (nod to Kentridge)"
Is this William Kentridge the South African artist and where did you find quotes from him? Not that I have looked deeply but someone that has intrigued me since seeing a show a few years ago. Otherwise a great article on drawing and looking and paying attention, such a hard thing to do.
Sorry, a reference to my post from last week, ‘The Stupidity of the Studio’, so a bit of an inside comment. Yes, William Kentridge and a quote from a talk where he says, “One never appreciates the degree of stupidity in the studio.” I love the sentiment of humility in an approach that values stumbling instead of some fictive mastery.
