So there's no such thing as art? : Comments

By Donald Richardson, published 9/1/2013

The problem with most art criticism is it is written by non-artists who don't really understand art.

Cricket is so necessary Pericles. It's fundamental to my life!

Actually I think I would argue cricket IS art.

The author may not agree, but that's just because he hasn't played the game.

Only a cricketer knows...

Good luck with your alternative book distribution experiment.

You say, "The problem with most books on art theory is that they have not been written by artists" but when we get to "I had to self-published this book because no commercial publisher would take it on" it seems not to have occured to you the issue might just be, the problem with most books is that they have not been written by 'authors'.

Really, H? "It's fundamental to my life!...Only a cricketer knows..."

To make such a claim takes some balls.

I'm sorry, but it's over.
