As a Bostonian, I wish I could have been at this lecture! Wonderfully done!

[@adhoc9647]

What an extraordinarily insightful, scholarly, and eloquent presentation on a subject that had been a mystery to me. Cannot thank you enough, Sir!

Has anyone noticed the podium sort of looks like the Guggenheim Museum in New York?

[@lella2201]

He didn't want to his methods, thoughts, ideas, ways, and work to be copied or plundered by others in any way. I'm 100% sure that's why he burnt his drawings.
Likewise, Leonardo mirror-wrote so his ideas were safe . He had studies in many areas besides art and didn't want one word of it within anyone else's reach.
Frankly, I'm the same way, only I don't burn drawings or mirror write. I just keep people away from my papers. I won't put art on the internet for that reason.
Some artists are just like that.

Quite possibly the second worst documentary I've ever seen on the subject.

[@tomshaw1015]

What is a good one?

[@darkl0rds]

This isn't a documentary, cuh. It is a lecture.

[@nidhishshivashankar4885]

Its also quite definitely the worst chicken I’ve ever seen (because it isn’t one)
