[Cato]

My grade school had an "Art Show" last night, which was well attended.

A former student, a highly sensitive and artistic type who is now a Senior in high school, was also walking around. (She has been accepted at assorted art schools, e.g. Rhode Island's School of Design.)  I asked her what she thought of the efforts.

She sighed, struggled to be polite, and her one slightly strabismic eye wandered toward a less than masterful collage.  Then she said:

"Well, I think it shows how sparse real talent is."   0:)

Which might sound snobbish: it was after all only a grade-school art show!  The efforts were not as good as in previous years (like when she was here     ).

Anyway, I thought the opinion was interesting.

Nice!

Many is the contemporary art show, whereof a talented artist of my near acquaintance has remarked, Seeing that work makes you feel that you are a great artist.

What was interesting about the opinion, Cato?  That your former student---still so young---is weighing in on the early efforts of some kids?  Or the opinion itself?  At first thought, the opinion itself doesn't seem very interesting to me: virtually everyone says stuff like that, especially where the standards/tradition are clearly defined.  It does seem remarkable that with a promising future ahead of her, she already sounds like people who have already failed at creatively making things and channeled their bitterness and disappointment into exactitude.  (And I am someone who enjoys, admires, and respects criticism and scholarship as vocations that themselves benefit from talent, and sometimes from prior failure at practical/'creative' pursuits----as varieties of creativity.  But that requires sublimation of disappointment, not indulgence of the spirit of revenge.  Not that this latter is what is motivating her, as that would seem unlikely; but it just seems....so close.  Like a pre-echo.) 

How did she become so weary, so soon?
