The Myth Makers of Our Day

I think of James Joyce as such a revealer of the mysteries of growing up and becoming a human being. I think in the visual arts, there were two men whose work seemed to me to handle mythological themes in a marvelous way. One was Paul Clay and the other Picasso. You know, our artists are the myth makers of our day. The myth makers in earlier days were the counterparts of our artists. They drew the paintings on the walls. They performed the rituals.
