Should An Artist Be Judged By A Single Work?

Dave Matthew's Band released a new album today. It is titled Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King. Dave recently stated in an interview that if he never records another album, he hopes no one listens to any of his other albums.

What if Picasso was only his blue period? What if Dali was only his surrealist work? (I actually prefer his earlier work.) What if Ansel Adams were only Moonrise, Hernandez?

Art is not a destination. It is a journey. These artists are not great for a single work or even a single collection of works. They are great for their lifetimes of work.

Dave Matthew's Band has created many great albums. They wouldn't be a great band if Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King were there only album. Many bands record a great album. Very few repeat the feat. Even fewer do so as often as DMB.

I wouldn't want to be judged by a single image or even a single album. I have created images that I feel express my view of the world. I have created images that make me very happy. I have not created an image that I would want to define my career. I don't know that I ever will.
