@TheStefanNestor If on the other hand, we should, accept radically Hockney's theory(i.e that the Old Masters were not as much talented in observing), how could we explain the forms they paint?

@vova47 You know, I don't think he didn't have an ear for music.After all, he proclaimed Scriabin a genius! And among the rest, towards the end of his life, he judged Shakespeare to have written nothing of any real value and in the essay "What is art?" he questioned whether Beethoven was an artis...

On the rest,I think that when considering such men of genius as michelangeli or horowitz, gould or sofronitsky,one can never say...
