Your natural talent.
The most faithful, profound, most harmonious interpretations of my works have been by people “who knew nothing about art…”.
No one can dispute this fact since I am the only one who knows everything I wanted to express in my sculptures.
Too many professional art critics say nonsense in their comments on this or that work in the figurative style.
What can be said about contemporary art by those who call only on natural and true sensitivity!
This is why each of my sculptures has a text describing at least its theme, in which each person can personally reflect in accordance with their own sensitivity, without distorting the primordial expression.
On the other hand, certain cultivated professionals, aside from their knowledge of art history, also have the talent of “intuitional” knowing through their profound sensitivity.
This is the same talent and true culture, the same know-how that many of you, spared the intellect’s conditioning and “knowing nothing about art” as you say, also possess.
Actually, it is this that very much serves to transmit deeper true artistic discovery.
I particularly recommend Irving Stone in his book The Agony and the Ecstacy of Michelangelo for its commentaries on Michelangelo’s sculptures.
