Excellent advice, even for the living.
"Painter, shut up and paint."; Salvador Dali
Also excellent advice, even for non-artists.
Bearing all this in mind, I generally prefer to let my work speak for itself. What can I say about 'Anatomy Lesson' that isn't obvious from the looking? Nothing. Does 'The Axe Murder' need any explication? Only to those who has never felt so, either as the murderer or as the victim. But that leaves no one. We all feel these things, most of us several times every day.
I love the poetry of horror, the purity of it. It is honest. It is contemptuous of our masquerades, our vanities and pomposities. And once it has gutted us, it leaves nothing to be said.
