CLEAR, CONCISE, AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND

"Simplicity is the final achievement." 
~ Frederic Chopin ~

I used to believe that there was artistic value in things that are obscure and difficult to understand, including people, but I have amended my belief. The purest art, it seems to me these days, lacks pretense of any kind and is clearly accessible, and provocative- yes- but not confusing or convoluted.
     In a complex technological world of massive inner-connectivity, social posturing, jockeying for position everywhere we turn, and brains that are assaulted daily with information overload, there is great value in what is straightforward, simple, and easy to understand.

I appreciate the value of simplicity.
