You know every time I pick up the Somerset magazine I see several letters to the editor about artists sticking pointed hats, crowns and wings on people in collages. There is a faction which detest this practice, as they apparently consider themselves higher on the evolutionary collage chain. They are embroiled in this battle with the "pointy hat lovers". I for one LOVE hats and wings.........there I said it and I'll say it again.......I LOVE HATS, CROWNS AND WINGS!!! There are wonderfully talented artist who use pointed hats, crowns and wings everyday in their creations and when others do it perhaps they are emulating their favorite artist's work. Emulation not only the highest form of flattery it is also how we learn, it's been done through thousands of years of art. In this uptight, politically correct world, I feel that hats, crowns and wings add a jaunty sense of humor and encourage people not to take themselves oh so seriously. So for those who like the pointy hats, crowns and wings, I say ROCK ON! Keep cutting and gluing those tiny triangles!!!!
I'd be interested in knowing what the consensus out there in artistic blogland is on this topic. Please leave me a comment!
