“Our time and attention is scarce. Art is not that important to us, no matter what we might like to believe... Our love of art is often quite temporary, dependent upon our moods, and our love of art is subservient to our demand for a positive self image. How we look at art should account for those imperfections and work around them. Keep in mind that books, like art museums, are not always geared to the desires of the reader. Maybe we think we are supposed to like tough books, but are we? Who says? Many writers (and art museums) produce for quite a small subsample of the... public.” ThinkingShouldMindBelieveLooksArtImportantBookSelfMatterMightDesireAttentionProduceReaderDemandArt IsToughAccountsNo Matter WhatMoodOur TimeDependentTemporaryMuseumsImperfectionOur LoveScarceSubservientPositive SelfPositive Self Image Author:Tyler Cowen
