It’s the kind of
artist who tells you that you don’t get his work. It’s okay when a critic or
even a fan tells you that, but when the artist gropes for such bullshit, it’s
the first sign of insecurity.
I’m not promoting artistic
humility, an artist has no business being humble, but honestly – just do your
thing. However you see fit. Disagree or denounce, but don’t say someone doesn’t
get it. It’s not self-confident, self-important or pretentious. It’s weak.
