Post of Substance

I know, I know. I promised something of substance. At least more than just Sicilian jokes, although Sicilian jokes are so much fun. At least until horse heads get involved.

Seriously, though, why are none of my Sicilian friends "connected" that way?

Anyway, the post I was thinking about, talking about art and important things, is going to have to wait. Sorry. The day slipped by. I read a lot, though, including some stuff that will probably influence what I wanted to say about art.

I will give you a preview:

Are the definitions of liberal arts in need of rewriting? Has the understanding of visual arts changed so that they should be seen as a liberal art? Does the distinction between the servile nature of craftsmanship and the liberal nature of content need to be redrawn?

I will be off to my Godfather's cattle ranch tomorrow, and will not be posting until Monday at the earliest, but these are the things to think about for when I come back, refreshed, and thinking happy thoughts of beef.
