ART LETTER
Dear Dan:
Wrote earlier and did not like the letter. My question is, what "progress" has there been in art since Michaelangelo?
Is "progress" a measure of increasing excellence? If so, by what standard?
Is that standard to be found in public opinion, or some other opinion, and is excellence to be measured by conformity to, or offense against, that opinion?
Hope you are well,
Larry Arnn
