“The Genius That Isn’t (and Therefore Is)”

 Dr. Felicity Harbinger – Senior Fellow, Institute for the Study of Self-Reflexive Irony

“The artist’s true genius is revealed not in the brushstroke, but in the trap he sets for himself. By mocking his own claim to greatness, he achieves it; by denying the mantle of genius, he dons it twice over. In this ouroboros of ridicule and brilliance, the painter becomes both clown and prophet—a role few dare to play, and fewer still survive.”
