I cannot imagine being tired of an El Greco in the same way as any film or piece of music. Indeed it goes for religious art in particular.THOMAEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03710377440062400575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091756463128804432.post-16877814901921003542017-09-15T01:56:24.776-07:002017-09-15T01:56:24.776-07:00Well, it's the same thing with movies.

I do think the best measure of any work of art is how much it bears repetition.Maolsheachlannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09406722311993627528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091756463128804432.post-31804018594213870242017-09-14T16:09:02.624-07:002017-09-14T16:09:02.624-07:00There is some weighty comfort to the fact we can e...There is some weighty comfort to the fact we can enjoy some mundane things without end! Nice you brought up the example of popular songs also. I see almost no exceptions to the rule there, and would only melancholy confirm one such candidate in the now so grotesquely over-reprised, yet once before that stage really wonderful, Torna a Sorrento. As someone put it in print: "there are limits to the number of times one can listen to this song and like it"; but even then, in versions like the very best one of Dean Martin´s I only nigh agree to that dry limit opinion. Hopefully it´ll be only a temporarily fatigue in the longer run. It probably depends a lot on the setting it gets plays in. To hear staple status songs unwanted is not at all as to choose them free or to hear music shared on a personal level...THOMAEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03710377440062400575noreply@blogger.com
