An obvious question to ask Danto is why this was true in Warhol's
moment, but not true at the time of Duchamp's readymades.
I believe that Danto has addressed this, but I'm not sure where. Can
anyone here point me toward the relevant book or essay?
Thanks in advance.
I walked to small old fashioned neighborhood store run by alittle old
lady widow and bought some colored pencils and proceeded to sketch the
small flowers.I framed several of these sketches and took them to the
local art center and showed them to the director a college educated
artist.
He sent me to a store in the business district that sold art supplies;
where I bought some oils-paints-brushes-canvases.The young sales lady
told me how mix the art stuff.I went home and painted a painting.When
dry enough took it back to the art director--
It was the beginning of my becoming an artist.Two years later I was
Voted into the West Virgina University Creative Art Center where I have
8 paintings on permmanet file-over the past 25 years I have had many
note worthy successes in several states as an artist--
What happened to me is called "Latent talent";caused by a wild gene
that traveled down through time to end up in my genetic code book.It
is untraceable.
Melvin Fullerton now 80+ years old and still painting my beautiful
orginal creative art style-last one Jan.1-7 2000.Working on a history
book.I now have an art collection in excess of 400 paintings in my
studio.
