What this is NOT, is a Philosopher thinking and talking about Art. That’s Aesthetics. Aesthetics is a thinker thinking about “The Good; The Beautiful” as in Plato’s SYMPOSIUM; or Emmanuel Kant’s CRITIQUE OF JUDGEMENT.
What this IS, is an Artist’s explanation of what Artists do. Artists are said to be misunderstood. They are misunderstood, though, because we don’t explain ourselves. For good or bad, The Dave has a rigorous philosophical background, AND I’m an Artist. I’m intending to explain us.
We think VERY DIFFERENTLY than occupational capitalists. We feel differently. We see reality differently.

Introduction
TOUCHED WITH FIRE–Art, in Latin: “Ars, Artis,” relates to “cultivation,” to fire–“ARson,” fitting for clothing, or “ARm, armor” which, in turn, relates to “shoulder”–arm. Does an Artist draw with their ARM, a piano or guitar player, play with their ARM? And all Artists “cultivate” their Art.
