[…]However, if painting matters, then ability of the artist to tune and align their technique to their content would logically lead to more potent artworks.

Conversely, while being a good painter may make one a good illustrator, it does not necessarily make one a good artist. As Jacquette has always mined illustration for subject matter, the line between rendering, image, and content is a pivotal issue in the understanding of her work.”

I’m delighted to be introduced to your writing and insights. Thank you for putting these core issues so elegantly in “plain speak” I think I might hang it on my wall for a little while! :o)
