Vincent van Gogh
It was Richepin who said somewhere : "The love of art makes one lose real love." [ L'amour de l'art fait perdre l'amour vrai. ] I think that is terribly true, but on the other hand real love makes you disgusted with art. And at times I already feel old and broken, and yet still enough of a lover not to be a real enthusiast for painting.
Vincent van Gogh from a letter to his brother Theo

Kālacakra
left : One of the best known symbols of the Kālacakra system, indeed of the whole Vajrayāna, is this image, of the seed syllable (snying po), or monogram, of Kālacakra (rnam bcu dbang ldan). This consists of seven individual syllables combined together, in a stylised version of Indian Lantsa characters (ornamental script, or Ranjana script.)
right : This is a less well known, but arguably as important form, associated with the generation process meditation.

thoughts on decentralization
As a sculptor I've been thinking for some time about the archaic system used today to sell and distribute works of art. Recently I ran into something called OAIster used in the scientific community :
"OAIster is a union catalog of digital resources. We provide access to these digital resources by "harvesting" their descriptive metadata (records) using OAI-PMH (the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting)."
I think it would be great to port this to the artistic community - just a thought....
