Good morning!
Lestat’s on Park
Wandered down to our local Lestat’s On The Park cafe and what did I find?
Magritte table at Lestat’s
A table with a spoof of Rene Magritte’s painting! …
Mural across from Lestat’s
and across the street a truly horrible mural …
so I thought back to the book I just finished titled “WHAT GOOD ARE THE ARTS?”by John Carey which offers ” a delightfully skeptical look at the claims made on behalf of art.” Per The New York Post: “This book is brilliant, funny, and insightful” … Oh ?? maybe brilliant and a bit funny. It was published in 2006 and examines the place of art and “high’ culture in our lives.
Glad I read it … would I recommend it ? … somewhat tedious but a thorough examination of the value of art ……..
Ciao from San Diego…
