There's something to be said for this ...

Terry Teachout's Almanac entry for today. I have learned to love some works of art that upon first encounter did not immediately appeal ( I think of Bartok's fifth quartet, which I now love), but for the most part the artI prefer is the kind that one appreciates the more the longer one is acquainted with it, but that does give one something immediate upon first acquaintance. I definitely detest art that editorializes. But then I'm not too fond of anything that ediotrializes, including editorials.
