Derek, you don't really want to know what anyone means by "aesthetically based" -- do you ?
It's got all that terrible baggage! -- and probably the largest, heaviest, and most awkward valise on the cart is the distinction between pleasant and unpleasant. How could anyone say that Goya's Saturn is pleasant ? And yet -- what other kind of notions would distinguish that painting from all the other depictions of similar brutality that are worthless ? I don't know whether AM would have remained silent on that question -- but you certainly have been. ******************************************** RE: ' That kind of criticism is not aesthetically based either -- is it? (Or -- at least our locate advocate of Andre Malraux would tell us so.)' This advocate of AM would want to know first what you mean by " aesthetically based". _____________________________________________________________ Click here for free information on starting a business from your home. http://thirdpartyoffers.netzero.net/TGL2211/fc/Ioyw6ijlQbII36H3rWJyHZxHxxhpe4 l2IfMgmcefOqxbSJeJ1Z4Uny/
