Your res...<b>Mm Mud: It's good to see you here! <br /><br />Your reservations about the (mostly) alphabetical structure of this enterprise are a frequent comment. But the value of the system -- more emergent than planned, to be sure -- is that it encourages us to break out of the taxonomy-based thinking that is pervasive in Art History and art appreciation, and simply to go exploring. Too, it is for the most part a false problem: as much as Carra and Carraci are from two different centuries and represent very different styles, they both produced stuff that we put into the category of "art," and it is really not too difficult for most people to choose which one they like better. And the kicker is, it's interesting -- for me, at least -- to think about WHY I like that one better.</b>Michael5000https://www.blogger.com/profile/10148584819327475239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-68153347512974167572012-06-17T21:30:00.108-07:002012-06-17T21:30:00.108-07:00Carra...but I do wonder about these two very diffe...Carra...but I do wonder about these two very different people pitted aganist each other just because of an alphabet.
