Title: Too precious for words, or Dilettantissimo
Review: Even the self-parodying Oscar Wilde, I feel, knew the difference in his heart between art and artiness. The joke was on us. I love still life, but this is stilted, affected writing. 'At dinner at my friends', I was seated with my back to the painting, but I felt its magnetism.' Purleeze! 'If you could see the notes of a cello...that would be the poetry of [the painter in question].' You need a strong constitution for this kind of thing, which is not art criticism but mush. Apart from the technical bits about pigment, which is still not aesthetics. For a good amateur take on the genre, Chapter 6 of Marjorie Garber's Quotation Marks is be hard to beat. So good I bought it twice (I think)
