[quote=pbradley]I was getting at the fact that art in the greater sense transcends medium. In this sense, performance, canvas, tape... all irrelevant.
I would defend words used in visual art only if the words used elicit a greater or more specific meaning of the rest of the painting that the artist would like to convey but couldn't through ordinary means. quote]
Should you not use those words on some accompanying text to explain what is obviously not coming across from the finished product itself, then? The very fact that the visual aspect of the work you've produced can't sustain its own appeal by itself is enough to make it a severe case of weakness in the talent of the artist himself.
