In any case, I'm opposed to ageist groupings. Age (ie the age of the artist) is or should be irrelevant to discussions about art.

Absolutely, Terese.

Age, gender, political affiliation - these only become important for those "artists" who do not place art first and foremost - that is, those for whom art is a secondary consideration, which is the essence of poetastry.

The true artist ALWAYS puts art first, and discounts the secondary elements.
