What Makes a great master of painting?Contrary to popular belief and the well organized pr of art gallery aunties,self styled "ace" art collectors and self proclaimed art critics, true guinius in painting or in any other art form, has nothing whatsoever to do with going to art school, being older (senior) or dead, living in Europe or the number of solo shows that one does. Bob Marley,Jim Morrison, Picasso and Swami Hari Das (Tansen's guru), the eternal masters,were masters at a very young age, never went to art school and had few or no solo shows. Hari Das only sang for god and never for kings, nobles or patrons.
The 'Art' in painting is way beyond putting paint on canvas and is common to all art forms including music, dance, martial arts, film making, animation, samurai warfare, writing, pottery, meditation, yoga, archery, flower decorating and acting.
