The message is ironic. A neon sculpture — proclaiming what a true artist creates and for what purpose. Burt Rodriguez created this piece in 2007.
A
rt imitates art — Bruce Nauman’s piece, “The Artist Helps the World by Revealing Mystic Truths” was created in 1967.
Both messages have meaning. Both pieces were created by an artist. Both pieces — thought provoking. I believe, the true artist creates for another purpose — truth.
