Isn't this part of what you... «By Nightfall»
sneerwell10 июня 2013Isn't this part of what you keep looking for in art - rescue from solitude and subjectivity; the sense of company in history and the greater world; the human mystery simultaneously illuminated and deepened: by Giotto's expelled Adam and Eve, but Rembrandt's final self-portraits, by Walker Evans's photos from Hale County. The art of the past tried to give us something like what's happening to Peter right now - a look into the depths of the human other. Videos of passerby aren't the same. Nor are obscene urns or dead sharks or anything, really, that's wry or detached or ironic, that's meant to shock or provoke. It doesn't offer anything like a beautiful messed-up boy with a drug problem spinning unknowable fantasies for himself right there, on the other side of the veil.
