Tis does not mean that they do not have intellects. Neither are they ec-static natural prodigies debauching themselves in creative pas-sions they are not capable of understanding. Nor are they merely gamblers choosing which square upon which to place their great or tiny talents.Tey are born gifed. Like everyone else, they are born in a man-ner and in a time and place not of their choosing. Like Adam in the Garden of lden, like all human infants, they are surrounded by wonders and Adam named all the creatures Adam, the hrst taxonomist.lor most of Adam`s breed, giving a name to something allows it to be no longer seen. Te gif (or the curse) of the artist is to be able still to see things afer they have been named, even when those things still only exist in the artist`s mind.William Mcllcheran, 2 November 199excerpt from A Personal View"Karate Man, 19895 4I Vos To C|ose, 1998Te Sory|oorJ, 199 RIGHt: detail of Ov In Fron (triptych), 198Vo||ing Bvsinesson 1, 1999 8i always thought of art as being an expression of something more than the individual, but of civilization as a whole.
