Art Doesn't Want To Be Familiar. It Wants To Astonish Us.

Art doesn't want to be familiar. It wants to astonish us. Or, in some
cases, to enrage us. It wants to move us. To touch us. Not accommodate us,
make us comfortable.
-- Jamake Highwater, The Language of Vision

Art is not to be looked at - art is looking at us.
For some reason the little Bruins make us laugh.
For some reason the little Flyers make us laugh.
For some reason the little Leafs make us laugh.
For some reason the little Penguins make us laugh.
For some reason the little Rangers make us laugh.
For some reason the little Senators make us laugh.
For some reason the little Whalers make us laugh.
Many of us are more capable than some of us... but none of us is as capable as all of us!
! -- Ziggy (by Tom Wilson)...
