Poor aged artists!
<< Perhaps, later in his life, once his creative flame has begun to dim some, and the call of his muse becomes less seductive... >>
This hasn't happened to me yet. When will it, please? 25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 75, 85, 95? Oh, and why?
<<Rare is the older artist who can tap his youthful creative vigor--the playfullness, fearlessness, and abandon that create "fresh" art.>>
The longer we do something the more we can master it, IMO. And only mastery of form, IMO, can enable an artist to transcend it.
Such a pity the elderly cannot be playful or fearless or abandoned.
Best wishes, Tom
