Artists Week Journal

Truth and Beauty vs. the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

A rousing argument around the dinner table last night about the aesthetics of ugliness. This morning James read me a quote from the book he is reading by painter Agnes Martin: "The sentimentality of my furniture destroys the perfection of my floor."

  1. Hi Nacha,
    This is an African saying:
    "A friend is someone who knows your song and sings it when you have forgotten it."
    Love,
    Rita
