[NetBehaviour] Bad review[s]

[Patrick Lichty]

Probably the same thing as when a colleague tells me my writing is often
better than my art.  However, in my case there was some takeaway.  Moldy
figs indeedŠ

So what do you do when the Distinguished Critic writes a newspaper review
where he says one of your prints (in a curated gallery group show) that it
"shows neither intellectual nor aesthetic spark."?

Probably nothing, except post to NetBehaviour. All publicity is good
publicity, right?

Nevertheless, I am astounded that the moldy fig style of journalism still
persists, where the critic's opinion is the subject matter of the critique.
I suppose it's more entertaining than opening the work up to the reader's
judgement.
