Aristotle had said that great art had to be about kings and generals and people of power. Well, it could also be about the homeless – even the twitch in the face of a homeless man, asleep on a bench in November.
“Every artist worth her salt knows what I mean — either one chooses the well trodden path, platitude, sentimentality, the current orthodoxy, whatever, or one blazes a trail which is, no matter the nature of the work, part of the process of becoming.”
