Yeah, nobody likes rejection, although some people are braver about it than others. I'm not very brave in that aspect. I rarely go out on a limb emotionally.
I'm afraid of exposing myself, afraid of rejection. The real me is quiet and sensitive, mostly. I think most people like that, but I'm more afraid of rejection I think.
the top half is human, the part he is finished sculpting, and the bottom half is unfinished and stone. It's not tragic, but it is an example of an artist falling in love with his work. I thought it was terrific, and very surreal, well before surrealism was a movement.
haha nice. A movie called mannequin. It was hard to find, you should have just told me. Interesting, but his mannequin wasn't a fake person, since it apparently came to life. Wikipedia said it was based on a 1948 movie, but the premise is very old. Middle ages at least. I remember studying one painting by someone where the sculptor is kissing his sculpture, a beautiful woman who is half stone/half human.
