What to Paint by 3 Great Minds

Quoting Genn quoting Berenson with a link to be sure to give proper credit.

Sometimes I post what I want to keep track of . Witness "figure sales tax backwards" which, it turns out, is a popular search phrase for this blog.

Back to point. Robert Genn who writes to me twice weekly and will to you to if you like... hit home for me today. Here's a quote.

When I was younger and much more idealistic, I used to worry I was not serious enough. In my studies, I eventually got around to the critic Bernard Berenson and was relieved by his idea that art ought to be life-enhancing and not life-deprecating. I figured it was okay to please, both myself and others. Anger and angst were just fine for anyone else.

Exactly! says I.
