Here’s a brilliant PBS video about the brilliant South African artist William Kentridge (have I emphasized enough how brilliant this is?). Something here that should be hugely helpful to anyone who wants to be an artist, whether a musician, visual artist, writer or a plain human being artist, something about about playfulness, about openness, about accidental or incidental quality of art and attention, about giving up on silly things like career and jobs, about politics, about making beautiful things, about being really, really smart. Unfortunately, I can’t embed a PBS video into a WordPress post, so you must click the link below and watch the video on the PBS site (well, that’s not really “unfortunate,” I suppose). Thanks to Dawn Promislow for drawing my attention to this.
