Kurt Schwitters calls Time. part 2

Me: ‘Yes and who makes those ungainly things ?... the Artist.
In the case of Bebop of course they didn’t do primitive as one of the routes into the ‘ungainly’…like Picasso did for instance… even though the music was mocked as primitive, it was highly precise, clever and often very fast, to confuse white imitators of course, but the music could go there anyway, it needed to - to become a true Black American artform - not an adendum to something else.’
Dr Franklyn: ‘Correct, there aren’t many areas of society where it is useful or even wise to do that, to make the seemingly unfathomable thing.' Laughs ' But governments seem to manage it regularly !..couldn't help that one. The ungainly, as you intimate, is the thing outside the norm, society is about the norm. It requires a lot of investment of self, time and energy – it requires a vision – beyond the continuous cosmetic workover of things.
Look at it this way; many people all over the world have a guitar, or one of those electronic keyboard thing at home, or whatever musical instruments are in their culture – and so on. They all enjoy a musical dabble in all sorts of ways and styles, they love it ..so it is with painters and artists of all sorts. All the arts are a natural expression of human form and feeling – it’s a birthright – like dancing and singing – all people are creative – innately - but not all - are Artists - the creative that most people know and understand is within the happy ‘Norm’. Would you castigate me when I have a dabble on my piano for not being a Mozart?’
