- But man can that guy talk about how much he, personally, loves the Dutch masters!
Pleasure is the only trusty teacher and guarantor of seriousness in art. Why is that so easy to forget?
Well, because it's not true.
And because, even if it were true—which, again, no—saying so aloud would mostly serve to give the incurious a further excuse to rigidify their already limited frame of reference.
As a cri de guerre stated unusually bluntly in the year-end double issue especially, this reads like a bitter parting salvo and statement of purpose from a guy who knows he's just filed his last column. Christ, I hope so.
