From nessus@mit-eddie.MIT.EDU Thu Aug 29 08:42:12 1985 Art is a study of the human mind. Thus many artists (the ones I like the best, in fact) try to tap the subconscious mind and present its images in a viewable or hearable (etc.) form. EEK! And all this time I couldn't figure out *what* ART was. So, ART is in fact the study of the human mind... what will all those people with psychology degrees *do* ... Doug, man, ART is an EXPRESSION, not a study. There's very little STUDY involved, and if there were, it wouldn't be, in fact, ART. Artists don't enjoy "watching images come from the subconcious" or other silliness, but they do understand the inspiration and have a want/need to communicate what they feel (be that an emotional feeling, an intelectual feeling, what have you). /jordan
