Re: [microsound] miles of styles of philosophes
Is a point of reference required in order to appreciate art? I often
mull this over. I do not think that it is but the context of said
piece does change when an informed point of reference is present. I
do think that ones perception changes when you have an informed point
of reference about any artwork. Does that make it more enjoyable? I
do not think so, even though that opinion contradicts my applied logic.

art'
(although I'm not sure what is meant by that) but if it's simply
art you
and your friend find to be beautiful without knowing about it then I'm
sure universal art abounds.
