...Artist As someone who supports legitimate artists and is a collector of original art - albeit on a modest level - I am offended how British "Bad Boy" artist, Damien Hirst [Sept. 15] is dominating the art world. He is merely another charlatan who found a gimmick and capitalized on it, suckering in those wannabes who are more interested in bragging rights than promoting a fresh, honest talent in the art world or insightful, subversive ideas in the public arena. Dead animals preserved in formaldehyde and a diamond encrusted skull - is this even legal? Spin paintings done by studio assistants - give...
...whatever happened to the lost art of existential crisis that used to be the sine qua non of college experience? I’m not advocating that we ultimately throw ourselves into the Charles River, like Quentin Compson in The Sound and the Fury. But surely it wouldn’t hurt to skip class once in awhile, go boating with dapper northern bluebloods, play with our father’s watch and indulge in jumbled metaphysical speculations about the nature of time.

He is merely another in a sad and long string of con men who found a gimmick and capitalized on it, suckering those wannabes who are more interested in bragging rights than promoting a fresh, honest talent in the art world. Dead animals preserved in formaldehyde and a diamond-encrusted skull - is this even legal? Spin paintings done by studio assistants - give me a break; kids...
...first men in history to rush the field after a rousing victory? I’m pretty sure it’s true! For this singular act—charging the field after a thrilling triumph—is one of sports’ greatest moments. It is an art, with its own set of patterns, techniques, and masterstrokes. I’d like to consider myself an aspiring artist. As Joyce did so before, allow me to provide advice and inspiration to those of you artists as young men and women out there looking to join (to rush...
