no. but sometimes it takes a hell of a long time for people to accept a different way of thinking. vangogh painted what he physically saw. his medication warped his vision. people were freaked because they didn't see things like that. they wanted...well, macdonalds. everything the same, all the time, even if it does taste like shit. same thing with seaurat and monet, manet, etc. they broke images down into impressions of color. people couldn't deal with the scientififc concept of the optical mix. stand back far enough, and damn those paintings look tight. but they're swishy-swahy, or points of color. new stuff is hard to swallow. what were talking about, any way? bees dying, right?
