A great artist is their own biggest critic: a bad artist is their own biggest fan.
A piece of text art about the attitudes different artists may have about the quality of their work.
An observation about artists attitudes to their own work. Of course it’s not a universally true observation. All I can say is that I’ve come across some averagely talented artists who seem to think that they are in fact pretty damned good and some very talented artists who think that they are in fact pretty inadequate.
Maybe one of the reasons for this is that good artists are more aware of where their work falls short of their intention and are generally more critical of their work, while less good artists may not have the critical facilities to judge their own work: they may even just be intoxicated by the fact that they’ve created anything at all.
