: First comes the creation and then comes the explanation.

: It's artist nature: the more you want to know about their work, the more they
: lie about it.

: I don't blame the guy. People expect us to lie about what we do. Back when I
: worked in the graphic area, I disappointed more than one stupid boss by
: telling the truth.

: Stupid boss (eyes wide open): "Wow! How did you come up with this cool
: looking cover?"

: Me: "I just wanted to do a cool looking cover."

: Stupid boss (walking away): "Baaah!"

: What I *should* had said: "I wanted to convey the freshness of the
: product with the purity of Nature." That would have done the trick.

Art sucks.

Or maybe more accurately, people who teach, critique, explain, examine, scrutinize, dissect, and/or analyze art suck. I mean yeah OK some design principles are nice, understanding color theory, etc. But don't ask what it means, art doesn't have meaning. It's like stupid people who try to interpret dreams - sure, it came up from out of your subconcious somewhere and therefore SOMETHING you were thinking inspired it but I think about random shit in my waking mind, who knows what the hell my subconcious is doing? If I don't, then there ain't no way in hell someone looking at my art is gonna be able to reverse-engineer it out of that.
