Day 0104

I've been watching The Shock of the New to learn about modernism and art. I remember being shown it as an unwilling and disinterested schoolboy, but some of it managed to penetrate my distractedness and parts of it have stayed with me for over a decade. Very receptive to the ideas in it now. Morality and progress and art, disillusionment. Blending with the thoughts of Proust and Ruskin and Tolstoy. Still working it out.
