What do you mean, "we cannot allow.....? Who are we, the art police?
Only what we say can be published? No one else can think? I thought what
we wanted to do as artists, for one, was to get people to think! And to
write, and to carry on a dialogue with us! And who is telling us that we
cannot do something? We might be criticized, we might not get
money...but we can do whatever art work we want, just like they can say
what they want, and think what they want! In fact, the more they say and
write, the more chance we have to express, intelligently, in response.
In this way, we get to be heard! What is wrong with that? Glad you
brought this subject up!
