Symbols, sky, heaven, a sign. What does it mean?
Rules.
Will heaven have rules that must be followed?
Hell.
Art has rules. It is said that they are there to be broken.
Warning.
When and how to brake them, is the slight of the hand.
Go.
Who should brake them is the impolite pondering.
Stop.

Andy Warhol got it right when he predicted:

"In the future everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes"

What he probably did not foresee is that in the future…
Anyone with a digital camera and imaging manipulation software will be an Artist for 15 seconds.

Did Edward Weston get it wrong?

Only with effort can the camera be forced to lie: basically it is an honest medium: so the photographer is much more
likely to approach nature in a spirit of inquiry, of communion, instead of with the saucy swagger of self-dubbed "artists."
And contemporary vision, the new life, is based on honest approach to all problems, be they morals or art. False fronts to buildings, false standards in morals, subterfuges and mummery of all kinds, must be, will be
scrapped.

--Edward Weston
