>“We can’t worry about meaning. Ari proposed to us that meaning is a consumer item. Some people manufacture it through religion, philosophy, nationhood, politics, and some people buy it. But an artist is not a manufacturer.”
How do you writers feel about this sentiment?
What is an artist then?
Some say they are sieves for insight/vision of the place where intangible concepts like "poetry" derive, those "celestial spheres" we only get flawed intimations of. I think you could argue in this metaphor that artists are neither producing or, more certainly, manufacturing anything.
lol like I give a fuck what a genre director thinks about art or creativity. He isn't even a real writer. He just leeches off of novelists and screenwriters. No he hasn't ever actually created anything of worth. He made formula horror and science fiction movies. The last watchable one was like 25 years ago. The fuck outta here.
A clairvoyant
I dunno about that man. Cronenberg sounds a bit more patric (pronounced patrish) than you.
Maps to the Stars is great tho. I mean a Robert Desnos poem is central to the plot. Pretty Parrish.
I am gonna watch this tonight. I've heard good things. Looks like a great cast.
Pretentious waffle
Meh, if you're so boring to say so then sure. You can see these ideas mentioned in Percy Shelley's essay about Poetry, spoken about often in other places about poetry too.
