The cause of originality disease
- Misunderstanding inspiration. Many people think inspiration comes from nowhere and think that studying other people's work may contaminate their originality.
- Fetishising originality. People do study those before them, but only so they can do something different.
- Pure conjecture: self-obsession. Instead of looking outward, people look inwards for inspiration. Paintings are increasingly abstract to reflect the subjective experience of the artists.
