Cudae: You state your case well. Makes sense to me. I'm just as interested in the mind-grid a person brings to a work of art that leads to whatever opinion he/she makes of it. I know that I have given inadequate attention to some brilliant works of art because they didn't appeal to me personally, while other works, not brilliant, but not bad either, spoke to me; captured my imagination - they were able to link onto something already present in my mind-grid. So why am I interested in this? Perhaps it has something to do with why people can't get past Tolkien imitation?
