I said I wasn't going to get involved.

I am not going to get involved in this difference of approach or opinion. But I think there is a bit of crossed purposes going on.

Do you use humility, or a correlate of humility, at all?

I am monumentally and crushingly in dispair, I can't believe that you haven't watched El Cid. He plays a heroic savior of the Christians in their batt...

I see you as El Cid, charlton Heston's greatest role. They don't make movies like that anymore.

I have found that once you have found a way, or a few ways to settle back from the external things you can learn to settle. The key to this is the rea...

Remember Metaphysician Undercover likened him/herself to an Escher painting.

I agree with what you say about my work, there is a tension in the act of viewing an art work between what the viewer experiences and what the artist ...

I thought you required polite considered debate. So we would should treat the findings of the IPCC with caution, fair enough. Meanwhile California and...

This is the documentary, I don't know if you can watch it without a TV licence. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000btl7/panorama-how-to-brainwa...

are you going to answer my question? So we can discuss it? Politely of course.

Banksy is an interesting artist, this is a work he produced this week in Bristol. https://i.ibb.co/Z6Y7cp6/IMG-9045.jpg He turns the art buying and ar...

Let's get back to reality, Where do you live? I don't mean the country be more specific. I'm interested in your local climactic conditions. I bet you ...

I think you may be correct about me being a Miro. I think I’m “The Beautiful Bird Revealing the Unknown to a Pair of Lovers”. https://i.ibb.co/z6CbJ0G...

Yes, but from where I am, the establishment including academia feels they have a privelidge over the artist and the public, the viewer. Which is littl...

Yes, there are, but this is not to deny there are others which benefit from some qualification by the artist. I think the issue is with either the vie...

Here is another Gormley, it's so well known you have probably seen images of it. Angel of the North. https://i.ibb.co/FmKHnJ1/IMG-9042.jpg

Ok, I'll give you my artist's statement for my painting with the orange sky. "Homage to Gormley" Anthony Gormley is probably the most admired British ...

Give it a little time. The Tory's do now have to deliver on all those promises. Yes I know that student debt can be seen that way. But try getting a m...

This crisis is real, it's deep and they can't see a way to avoid it. The younger generation is saddled with student debt and can't buy their own house...

Yes, he had quite a philosophical approach to art. This is the edition I have, I just looked on Amazon and they are asking £1000 for a copy, amazing. ...

Yes, this is the issue. The traditional Labour voter has largely disappeared, due to social economic changes. Blair only got in because he managed to ...

I might be a Paul Klee.

Socialism is a political principle, like capitalism. So called socialist states, may, or may not be practicing these principles. But analysis of these...

Yes I agree it is to vague a term without any qualification. For me socialism is the principle of the many working for, or contributing to the well be...

I see it as a reaction to the subprime mortgage crash of 2008. The dominance of Capitalism was put under question, to restore the economies and the re...

Just a bit of fun, I think you would look like a Miro myself.

Then a Kandinsky, or a Miro? (I won't mention Escher)

Is it a Dali, a Toulouse Lautrec, or a Picasso?

Nice summary. Yes I expect Cummings to be found unconscious in some gutter somewhere around Fleet st, worse for wear. There is talk about the border p...

I wasn't trying to catch you out, that would fall into the category of artists and critics trying to defeat each other's arguments about the merits an...

It really is remarkable how rightwing voters, and people who just listen to the media, don't know what socialism is, or how it benefits them. It's jus...

Sajid Javid, the chancellor of the exchequer, the second highest office in the government has resigned this morning. Having been given an ultimatum re...

There's no such animal as a stable genius. A genius is the epitome of instability. Trump is either speaking alternative facts, or highly unstable. Alt...

So I should believe you. As an outsider, I can see where the populism has been employed. You didn't answer my question about the integrity of the offi...

As I see it the artist's statement became mendacious with the advent of conceptual art. There was a point where artists were presenting poor artworks ...

I think this is to simplistic, some works of art are carried out, or conceived of by the artist which are not evident in the finished work. There is a...

NOS4A2, NOS4A2 is just trolling. He/she waits for posters to comment on the issues and then hits back with spin from the Republican propaganda playboo...

I agree with what the US needs, but the populists just promise these things while smearing the opposition to get into power. Once in power the promise...

Is that all you've got to say? He's a laughing stock around the world, I wonder why.

He's squirming ;)

I don't know enough about him. I think though that to beat Trump they need someone who can equal him on the media stage.

Buttigeig is young and looks the part. It worked for Tony Blair, who brought the left wing to power in the UK in a country strangled by right wing bia...

NOS4A2 is discredited as an impartial commentator here. He/she has gone around the block a number of times now, simply trotting out the same tired res...

Your only defence is that the populism and egotistical property tycoon antics employed by the President to play the crowd are not contravening the law...

Yes, I agree, people have their own taste in art like with music. Some connoisseurs and critics develop an educated overview of art, like music, which...

Yes, financial services is going to be disastrous for the negotiations, when it comes to the fore. Yesterday Michael Gove gave a speech laying out the...
