“Art, Like Morality, Consists Of Drawing The Line Somewhere.” G. K. Chesterton
The question in art, as in morality, is WHERE to draw that line. Artists of different eras and styles draw the line in different places, handling the pencil differently, drawing in different studios and lighting, heat and cold. Isn’t our morality similarly drawn? Could even the most conservative of people really live the moral code of the middle ages if they were plopped down in the middle of a peasant home?
