"Monsters never sleep" is ok. The compositions of the others are too
chaotic. Compositions have to be planned carefully.

yet another insipid view by someone afraid to look beyond their own
limitations.

in other words, you are saying compositions do not have to be planned
carefully, or that looking beyond one's own limitation is a substitute
for planning the composition of a work of art.

Neither.
Composition is a fundamental characteristic of the visual language.
Planning a composition in advance however, is not required for successful
communication with this language... Do you plan in advance for everything
you say?

Insipid views are demarcated by applying strict rules of conduct for an
endeavour that continually transforms and transcends itself. Any suggestion
that the creative process can be a controlled activity comes as a result of
a limited (mis)understanding of the phenomenon.

Incorrect again. I did not say plan in advance, and of course by your
answer, you concede the existence of other types of planning.

Incorrect again. I did not mention strict rules of conduct.

Insecure, second-rate intellectuals try to prove themselves by
attacking others with what they think are fancy, high-school words
like insipid. When your mind matures you will recognize your misuse
of the word. Hopefully you will by then also have asked your
high-school english teacher why you stepped on your own point with the
parenthetical.

If composition is not planned in some way, then you may as well call
those paintings elephants make as great as Titian.

Planning is activty which occurs in advance of an endeavor. You do not need
to preface it with the word "advance" in order to imply it. I did so merely
to clarify my position.

"Compositions have to be planned carefully."
This statement clearly defines a rule of conduct you've purpported.

To use the complaint of an attack as a disguise for launching a
counter-attack is a rhetorical device employed by the intellectually
impotent... and yes, an activity indulged in by the insipid.

If you really believe yourself to possess advanced intellectual capacity,
perhaps you can choose an example of an Artist whose work hasn't been
ratified by hundreds of years of discourse... also, please try to employ
examples that contain some concrete comparative logic... not caricatures of
imagination... reason by analogy has long been abandoned by science, try not
to show your lack of intellectual evolution.

As well, please try to keep your rhetorical back-peddling down to a minimum,
it only shows you lack conviction. I haven't attempted to disguise my
attacks as you have... in fact I celebrate them, it makes for great theatre
(as well as great therapy).

My initial, reactionary rants were targeted towards morons such as Mani Deli
and John Ng, (both of which have long invited reactions toward their own
postings) since you wish to join their club, then please feel free to accept
my disdain. You may also feel free to manufacture as many concessions as you
like, they will eventually, as "all roads of excess" do, lead you toward the
truth... and hopefully, for your sake, within this lifetime. :-)
