Art, Science & Vice-versa

[Peter Lissaman]

I reckon a rather convincing demonstration that, happily, Art is NOT like
Science is that artists don't write the sort of stuff appears in Friam on
the subject.

Oh, I'm not so sure about that.  I have friends who have books loaded
with some pretty weird Eddington-typewriter sort of text presumably
analyzing (other people's) art.  I don't understand any of it; but at
least from a superficial level, it looks a _lot_ like what we see
here.... and I wouldn't have it any other way!
