Tim--I'm an artist but not in the traditional visual arts sense of the word,
(ie.painting or sculpture.) I've taken classes and studied on my own a bit of
art history, though. About the surrealists, I like Dali and deChirico. This
kind of elevating "non-sequitur" to an art produced some really creative work.
It's good to break up traditional patterns. I think there is a "traditional
pattern" in which logic is associated with repression and lack of creativity.
I'll address this issue in my next post, Manipulation 101 Lesson 18.
