		<description><![CDATA[Eye scans show that artists tend to look at broader elements of a scene, with less concentration on the center items than &#8216;regular&#8217; people.

		<description><![CDATA[It may seem strange to read that an artist thinks art sucks, but there you are. It isn't because there isn't anything interesting to be done in art, it's just that nobody cares if it is interesting.

Abstract art may or may not bear a resemblance to its subject. &#34;Paint is paint and canvas is canvas, they should not pretend to be otherwise.&#34; The cleverness in abstraction lies in the fact that [...]]]></description>
