An interesting rebuttal James, thank you. May I just clarify, and underline, that in saying "too much theory, too much talking", and by furthermore placing my argument within the "studio setting", my point really was to examine the painter's faculties within the actual act of making. So, not to diminish theory's place, but to apportion it. You must also allow me to keep circling back to Guston, as is my want, for the ghosts of other painters are always more present in the studio than any theorist can ever be. Along with, of course, the ghost, or totem, of the painting monkey. Good luck with the forthcoming project.
