Viewing single post of blog What is the importance of history ?

So awake late with a cough, sorry for being cross just before xmas.

I have now reworked my design as requested. Again the commissioner just pushing me a little further than I would have gone.

Does my laziness show? or is it some kind of complacancy?

The latest blog at the top of the pile was asking about art in the current economy? It made me realise I only work for money. I will have to work for nothing if I want to explore my own inner world. Something I should have done by now? Get paid to explore your own mind…is that what artits do?

Anyway I did'nt come here to talk balkolcs about art, I came here to share something writen by M.C.Esher in 1945 pertaining to reality but hitting a button for me about history.

'Which reality is actually more powerfull: that of the present instantly absorbed by our senses and discernable, or the memory of what we experienced previously? Is the present truly more real than the past?

……..er no, perhaps the past is more real then?

Dont ask Foucault, Derrida or Jean-Francois Lyotard because you wont be able to understand a single word and you might get confused.
