There is a popular legend that Michelangelo Buonarotti said the very same before he began work on The Giant, the large block of marble that would later become David…
…although the same can be said of his emergent (aka unfinished) sculptures…
Don’t get me started on ridiculously wasted money given to people in the name of art. Remember the thousands of pounds given to the ‘artist’ that just had a pile of bricks? Or the unmade bed etc. That’s not art, it’s successful scamming.
That is a good example of the gobbledygook that is so typical of many so called experts in the arts, including wine and food.I’m sure they’ve swallowed a thesaurus or six and regurgitated common sense.
