It's one of those reads that frustrates you because it's so philosophical and complex, but at the same time interests you and makes you think more deeply about something you thought was pretty black-and-white. At first I thought it was a hard read, but a little more than halfway through it became more intriguing and thought-provoking. I read it for a discussion group, and I think that really helped me internalize it and see how to apply the concepts to my philosophies about art. It made me realize that we all have philosophies about art, and that they can have implications we might not agree with if we really think deeply about them.
