I think it's interesting what artists and others say of an artist's work. They said of Sargent," oh he's all flash and brushwork" And WB.-"he's all finish" yet both of these guys drew really well, composed really well and even made a few statements. But the glaring excellence and beauty of their work overwhelms the other qualities. Sargent would not have gotten to paint 600 portraits had one not been able to recognize the sitters.

When artists have produced crude surfaces- like Cezanne, then people rave about his compositions.

just a thought...Tim
