In The Wake Of Last Week's Art Brawl I'm Asked Who My Favorite Artist Is

I'M GLAD YOU ASKED that and not who my favorite composer is.

Beyond any question, my favorite living artist is Alison Bechdel.  She does it all and it has content and meaning and context and depth.  Everything abstract expressionism and pop-art didn't.  

Maybe it's because I don't look at all that much art that I can say who my favorite is.  I know a lot more composers' work and I couldn't possibly say who my favorite is.  I certainly love Carla Bley's music but I also love the music of many other composers, many who I don't get to hear that much of.
