"A theme of "The Young Master" is that James -- far from being passive and erotically neutral -- was an active homosexual and not a closeted one. He was, writes Novick in the new book's preface, "an active and engaged man, passionate and energetic, for whom relationships were the ground of life and the subject of his art." And much of "The Mature Master" describes those relationships with a series of "handsome" fellows -- an adjective Novick uses rather too often and rather too suggestively. Instead of the austere, solitary figure portrayed by Edel, we have this portrait of the artist as a flirtatious old man."

True and authentic art is a visual language with a long and complex history. The world is inundated now with a morass of commercial junk that passes for it because it takes genuine education to recognize it– most people don't have the time or the inclination to learn to see the difference between the two. The avant garde has become the derrière garde and rich fools want to be seen as cultured collectors.
Sorry–you got me started!
