A quote by Michael de Meng~

I read this statement today in his yahoo group, and I really wanted to share it.....

Subject: secret? what secrets?

I believe that Art should move forward without restriction and without secrets. If someone is so determined to make Art like mine, then let them, eventually though, they will let their style slip in...it's inevitable (assuming what they are trying to do is explore is true to their heart). I never understand it when people are afraid of others stealing ideas...this is how art grows, by theft - by theft and reinterpretation. Nothing in a museum wasn't the product of artistic theft, but the artists expanded those concepts.

that's a great point: Reinterpretation.

So much is out there that we reuse without even knowing it anyway....
