The Art of Bonsai Project

This thread is for discussing the article "Living Sculpture, not Living Painting" by Attila Soos and Will Heath.

And, btw, a sculptor often has to use his drawing skills in the process. Michelangelo is a great example. I can hardly imagine a great sculptor who can't draw. On the other hand, a painter doesn't necessarily have to sculpt to be great.

To elaborate even further the similarities, the art of sculpture itself uses the painter's perspective as a tool or device....in addition to solving puzzles dealing with space. Just like bonsai.

....which (surprisingly) leads me to the conclusion that by adopting the sculptor's perspective on bonsai, we don't have to abandon the painter or drawer's perspective. That's because sculpture already incorporates those.
Wow, the power of logic..
