Question: Have you ever heard of an oil on canvas painted by 50 people!?
It sounds like a good idea, but getting 50 artists to work together is impossible, I think!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Physically, its impossible!.Conceptually, such gathering, assuming the possibility, 'd not promote one (whole) picture, but 50 different paintings!. A REAL painter, like a REAL poet, has enough arrogance that wouldn't permit such participation; but it 'd allow a participation into a collection in which his work is seen as a totally distinctive (whole) picture!. That is as humble as he/she gets!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There was one on British TV by Rolf Harris who got over 300 to each paint a section of Constable's The Haywain (in 300 different styles) and then put them all together on the biggest canvas you've ever seen!.

It worked for him!. Poets on the other hand!.!.!.!.!.ha, ha, ha, haaaa! Nurse!Www@QuestionHome@Com

How about we each only get one WORD!?

We would choose wisely, I think, especially if we knew those fifty words would make one poem and we were dependent on the other forty-nine to do their part!.

My word is TURBID!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes I have!.
But it only works if it is painted in fictitious form!.
Then people will not be identified!.
Works but since I am not real I can't be one of the 50!.
I hope this helps
