: I see so many young artists treat art as if it was an athletic contest with a published set of rules...The Marquis of Queensbury's Rules of Artistic Conduct -- thou shalt not use any tools other than those used by Northern Eurpean painters in the 17th century. 18th and 19th century tools are frowned upon, as are 15th century tools looked down upon as merely quaint. To be avoided at all costs are tools of the 20th century.

I'm confused. We're you the one that frowned upon tools of the 20th century (PVA) and indorsed the use of more arcane stuff (rabbit skin glue)? Sounds like a contradiction, or am I missing something? Thanks.
