“Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.”
Few have had a better seat for observing the arch of tradition in human development than Winston Churchill. His observation invoking the energy of innovation seals, for me, his position as a wise man. Nothing reeks of death so much as a stagnate idea. Is it any surprise then that stylistic stagnation is the reason for my loathing of the next D&D Cliché. Dogging our steps and cutting across cultural divides this stale regurgitation of poignant rural charm seems inescapable. French, English, American, Italian, German, Swedish… if we look closely we’ll find it in the Chinese culture as well.
“I hate overt ‘country’ decorating.”
On any day, in any culture, give me the honest simplicity of a rural home and I will argue its merits until the proverbial cows come home. Forget for one moment the basis for a provincial point-of-view and you’ve lost my attention and my devotion.
