Today's comment comes from Becky Knold in response to yesterday's blog post by Volcano visual arts critic Alec Clayton titled, "The new old aesthetic."

Knold writes,

Just read David Brooks' "It's not about you" in today's NYTimes and somehow feel that he is expressing in social cultural terms what you are expressing in artistic cultural terms. In other words, the new becomes old, then new again... blah blah. Both artists, and the broader social spectrum are looking for something more than quick, self-indulgent expressions & solutions. It's about time.
