Do not mistake arrogance for confidence. This leads to a plethora of horrific artistic expression. A person without confidence tends to be one of two extremes: They are either too tentative, or they are too arrogant.
In a pluralistic society, we are afraid to say what we know deep inside. If you cannot draw or paint, please do not call what you produce “modern.” You are not special, and you are not genius. You are passing off your patent inability as profound expression. Don’t fool us, and don’t be fooled. The only thing worse than deceiving us is deceiving yourself.
