In the art world, there are no ironclad rules. Is the untrained woodsman etching in the forest any less an artist than the student in the workshop? Perhaps, but opinions differ wildly - especially with the more mod
ern styles. Comments like "that painting could sure use a scrub" ensue as often as not. Criticism, ironically, pushes the artist to strive harder. Who, after all, scores a home run every time at bat?
Fortunately, most any size or format is seen as a means toward a literate piece of work. Leeway is given, then, to the new, yet historically sound approach. A gallery may have some paintings no wider than a few dozen picas; some may go yards at a stretch.
In the end, a vincible artist may leave behind an invincible body of work, proving that only the cosmos establishes who the true artists are.
