ARS GRATIA ARTIS

It’s nice sometimes to be ahead of the pack. In one of my earliest posts at Mel’s Diner, I commented on modern art and how I dislike it. One of my comments was that people just pretend to like this stuff so they won’t fell left out.

In the Sept. 20th The Spectator, Tom Utley makes almost the same point. He wasn’t talking about modern art, he was talking about some of the classics. But his point was that people pretend to like art that they really don’t because they feel they SHOULD like it.

It’s good to know that people from across the water are coming to Mel’s Diner.
