Carl, two threads in the past really influenced my thinking about Bonsai: One on the history of Bonsai, largely by Walter Pall; the other which introduced me to the concept of Wabi/Sabi, I think, by Andy Ruttledge. This one promises to have as profound an effect on how I think about Bonsai as those two did.

I couldn't resist "cracking wise" at Attila's misspelling, but what is really impressive is not only your original comments but the responses it has evoked.

I think what has so impressed me about this thread is the insight it has given me into my taste in art in general and bonsai in particular. Also, the relationship between art and the ego of the artist.

Amazing thread!
