i paid alot for my education it hopefully at least
gave me the standing to be able to critically analyze
art work without it being considered "kvetching out
of the blue" (or "bitching" for the non-yiddish
speakers) -
at the art institute of chicago (and other places i
went) we had critiques lots of them whereby individual
taste discussions got us to the common issues and the
uncommon - it was sort of the point - as there, the
rest of the world is either full of lazy people,
unintelligent people, or fear based thinkers - james
was having trouble with that i think and i was
agreeing with him - this is tuchlus (or "purpose" for
the non-yiddish speakers) enough i think
