I came across this tidbit from Groucho Marx that sounded suspiciously like someone vainly trying to compose an erudite artist's statement….
"Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh… now you tell me what you know."
Thanks, Groucho!
