This is not quite what I said. I said it was not a question one could answer by introspection. RE: '> But I'd still like to know --- what thoughts went through your brain while you > > were looking at some of those Goya prints in the exhibit you recently saw?' Mainly how impressive the prints were. That, surprisingly, it wasn't the Disasters of War that drew me the most but the Caprices and the Disparates. Especially some of the latter. Like entering a world of ... horror? But not a fantasy world. A real world. And how laughable it would be to try describe any of them, especially the Disparates, in terms of the notion of beauty. And what a pity it is that aesthetics is still so much in the grip of that kind of thinking. And that that is probably one of the reasons why it often seems so remote from the world of art. Things like that. Not sure why you think any of this might be relevant...
