John Updike's take on professionalism and art.

Post by Nadine » Fri Apr 21, 2017 12:39 pm

Professionalism in art has this difficulty: To be professional is to be dependable, to be dependable is to be predictable, and predictability is esthetically boring - an anti-virtue in a field where we hope to be astonished and startled and at some deep level refreshed. John Updike
