Art for Truths Sake NOT Public Consumption

-
The integrity of Art is not for sale...
OR, going along with whatever is tweeted.

I recently witnessed and participated in a couple of writers commenting ....
They referenced the ICON Ernest Hemingway.
Apparently, Ernest Hemingway wasn't comfortable with his first drafts.
These budding young authors referenced this "master" when...
They arduously became disillusioned with "first drafts" of writing...
Falling VERY short of their "purist" expectations.

Hemingway apparently was candid about having to subject himself to several "drafts" to arrive to HIS truth.
When I questioned the VALIDITY of this concept....
That first drafts were not ALWAYS "shit" as Hemingway proclaimed...
But rather a problem when too much thinking to cover up the truth was exercised.
One of the tweeters.....an acclaimed author....renneged on her initial response... RT.
But she kept her response "narrow".
She @ me stating that she did her "best" writing on initial drafts...
Then, WHY in God's sake, did she agree with her "followers" when they referenced Ernest Hemingway's personal issue when he wrote first drafts? That it took at least 5 revisions to arrive at the "truth" of his purpose in writing?

I don't understand.
This "budding" author reminds me of Bill Clinton.
Taking a "poll" is more pertinent than personal integrity.
A certain character needs to be mindful of authenticity...
Especially if they want to be a viable force in the literary arena!

Don't Fear Medusa...

                Don’t Fear Medusa…          Don't be afraid to look at Medusa. You won't turn to stone. The irony here is that if you Fail to look at Medusa... You WILL turn to stone. This is a quote from my book,  Coffee with the Subconscious , that I wrote over ten years ago. It's currently haunting my soul because people are turning to stone all around me.  When I communicate to people that I'm a graphologist their quick thought is that they're afraid to have me look at their handwriting. They're afraid of criticism.  The ones who are initially afraid shouldn't be. They are usually the more    intelligent. They suffer from those who have positions   of power over them.  They are the victims of Medusa's propaganda. Medusa's secrets. Medusa's invisible restrictions piercing their soul. False Promise after False Promise after False Promise. Façade after Façade after Façade.  Competent people are too aware of what they don't know and

Mondrian... Insight into the Artist's Subconscious

Finding Logic...Gesso Charcoal Pastels on Paper 32" x 40"    2018 Piet Mondrian entered my life during one my Art School Drawing classes. I was having difficulty connecting with the mannequin still life until my professor suggested a Mondrian projection.  The animated energy subconsciously came out of me, it even made it into the Spring Show Exhibition. Yet...I struggled to orally describe what I had drawn .  My conscious mind was hopelessly silent about this piece until I stumbled upon this Mondrian tree drawing on a friend's Facebook page. There was something about this animated tree that spoke to me.  The Melancholic Blue, Sanguine Red and Choleric Yellow are depicted in a rhythmic array of mental activity.  There are hints of squares & rectangles in the instinctual area taking form for his later work.  Mondrian's  trees were created during his earlier years before his work evolved to the aerated focused lines, geometric squares & rectangles. What was it ab

Thank You Kind Michele...

-
It was only a year ago... Her leading kindness permeated the room... Her silent yet soulful composure Tried to hold steadfast to control her tears for another's pain. A few weeks ago Michele Peace handed over her helm of WIN to another. It was a subtle thoughtful step away. Blessed with a Grace for Listening... She brought solace and encouragement to my soul. I don't know the reason for Michele's sudden death... Why this calming spirit was suddenly thrust from her sons, husband, family and many friends. Michele's Radiant Kindness lives on... In the hearts of all she touched. Her Memory is Truly Eternal. Thank you Kind Michele... Because You Deserve Great Relationships... www.bettyrozakis.com Betty Rozakis Graphology Author of Coffee with the Subconscious
