Costable and Turner

Apparently Constable said painting is feeling....or something to that effect.  And then he decided really that painting should be a form of science (and presumably awarded similar regard???).  Isn't that a bit of contradiction?  But perhaps not, if we end up seeing that science is nothing but feeling....for those who cannot see where this is going - I urge you to read those scientific journals so full of subjective opinions and preconceptions, it reads like a veritable old woman's gossip column.  OK, maybe not soooo bad.  But so much that we assert as scientific facts, are little more than fads of the time we live in.
