Painting retains a special potential for conveying thought through touch and
materials. You can hold its status as market commodity against it, but it's
still pretty much a cottage industry, which is more than can be said for a
lot of video and even photography these days. Most paintings are made by one
person, without assistance from a location scout, make-up artist, director or
editor, and they can't be reproduced and sold in multiples.
Painting remains the expression of an exceedingly human need for mark making —
a basic urge to communicate like speech, writing and song. If this weren't
the case, the century would not have had so many self-taught painters, some
of them geniuses. Paintings can have the expressive density of written pages,
and new ones are being made all the time that make exceptionally good
reading.

Let's admit that it just doesn't matter, and get on with the fascination, the
real relation, the underlying theme.
