The collaboration which sometimes follows is seldom based on good will: usually on desire, rage, fear, pity or longing. The modern illusion concerning painting {which post-modernism has done nothing to correct} is that the artist is the creator. Rather he is a reciever. What seems like creaton is the act of giving form to what he has recieved.
