If you asked 100 people how they would go about becoming a great chef, 99 of them would tell you to COOK, COOK, COOK!! Alex would would have a different answer for you and that would be---EAT! EAT! EAT! A chef, like a scientist, must know what he is dealing with and if he/ she is skinny he is not a chef to be trusted! To artists I would not say Draw, Draw, Draw! I would say read, read read, and look, look, look! It is most important to be a well-read artist! Most artists I know have barely read enough books to balance out a short table leg in a lower east side cafe. Dali was a man of letters and philosophy and Leonardo devoured books like a drunkard at the bottle.If you wish to become enlightened one can do worse than to feed at the breast of literature as hers is the milk of wisdom (even if you are an art-school drop out.)
