A Manifesto, of Sorts
The Quest of the Four Questions
My name is Oscar Finch, and I'm an artist and storyteller. But let me confess something: I can't use oil paint to reproduce a majestic scene, or a breathtaking Renaissance portrait. Neither can Damien Hirst. Nor Tracey Emin. Nor Banksy. Nor Picasso.
But we know their names, because they answered the questions few artists ever do — four, by my count.
How can more humans see my work? What will make them care when they see it? What will make them care enough to give me money? And before I'm dead? (I'm looking at you, Vincent van Gogh.)
Those are the questions I'm hoping to answer, as I set sail on the most daunting adventure of my life — and I'm inviting you in to see where the road leads. It's a tale of one artist, but also all artists. I'm calling it The Quest of the Four Questions.
