So he's beginning to see that art and its rarefication can mean that you can share a language and a lexicon with people in a way that can go unnoticed by others.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
I mean, I guess, Cassie, I hope you would agree here.
I hope I haven't
very much misunderstood the brief, but, you know, it's basically a book about art versus commerce and about the slippery slope from skill to, like, from skill and kind of aesthetic talent to...
in the art world, I think.
And what Eggers really dislikes, clearly, is the way that some conceptual artists and postmodern makers of art rely on theory and talking about stuff instead of actually knowing how to, you know, draw a beautiful illustration or, you know, know how to prime a canvas and oil paint and all the things that, you know, make beautiful work.
And instead, you know, we've got...
people taking a Polaroid of a poo and saying, that's art, you know.
I made that up.
That's not in the book.
But, yeah, he clearly has some thoughts about this.
I mean, I'm... I don't doubt it.
I don't know what you mean.
I mean, yeah, in the sense that the book is very much...
It's different though in the art world as with literature because with literature, you know, you're one person writing a book.
But with art in this kind of grand scale of commercialised art, which we'll get to later, it's one person having an idea and then a whole team of people actually making it, you know.
So the person who is the artist isn't actually doing any of the making.
So that doesn't really fly with literature.
