Good art forces us to ask ourselves questions. It challenges our
assumptions and opens us up to new ideas. Bad art, surprisingly,
does something even more magical. It makes us envision the artist,
the person who sat in a studio or workshop or Walgreen's parking
lot for hours and created something. Who was this jerk? What kind
of big, dumb, unskilled idiot were they? It's easy to imagine the
artists like this, blindly punching a canvas with a brush, all
slavering jowls and dead eyes. But I don't think it's fair to say
the unknowns in our collection are without spirit. None of these
works are boring, none of them are uninspired. They have a zest to
them, a resolve. A fear to face the Inevitability of Failure and
sit down with it for a cup of tea. We're sure many of these artists
thought their paintings were "bad," too. But they persevered and
finished them. They fought the terror of failure- that primal fear
we all share, that makes all of us want to give up, want to take
the easy road-they fought that fear with every single brushstroke,
thumbtack, and hammerfall. They finished what they started. And
that beautiful flower of humanity bore for us a deformed fruit.
