The thing is working for me so far. If the spirit of conception, execution and finished result of any work of art can be "read" by me and does not have divine element- when we don't know where it comes from, even when design or mechanical/technical skill components are familiar to me. I can be as well impressed by students or so called naive artists as great masters if work has this quality. It has 'scent' of the higher power. Even the greats have it not so often. Simply speaking- if I know how it is Done or Where it comes from, I am not quite interested. Boris Shoshensky
