When I was around 13, I almost went to a Weezer concert, and I still wish I had. I had just discovered the joyfully catchy Blue Album.

Academia has had a profound role in the capitalization of the written word. The MFA route used to be a place of refuge, specialty, growth, and debate/introspection/more debate. Now everyone is getting MFAs, and PhDs in Fiction or Poetry, etc. Some of the course loads (in such programs) are so cookie-cutter.

I'm unsure I could necessarily conclude anything, but here are a few thoughts that came to me the night I decided to commit them to the art crit journal. That is the question before us, and I shall endeavor to answer it for my readership and all whose eyes may cross this blog at any subsequent juncture.

As a critic (and human), I've always been fascinated with the seemingly sacramental vocation of the painter, not just in art and in history but also in the course and confluence of day-to-day life, both social and sociopolitical influence, prestige (or sometimes lack thereof), and so on. Humans and all biological organisms, and almost everything in existence, are on a perennial quest for connection in some form or another.
