- zinkem 15y agoAnd just because someone has a mental illness that causes strife in their personal life, it doesn't make their work inherently irrational.
- geraldalewis 15y agoNo, cutting off his ear wasn't rational, but it also wasn't art. I think a reasoned process is rational, but maybe this is getting into semantics.
- juiceandjuice 15y agoA person who isn't rational is going to always produce rational art. A rational statement.
- rimantas 15y agoAbout as rational as statement "A male father will always produce male children".
