    Your 'criteria for artistic quality' sounds, in many respects, reminiscient
    of Pirsig's defintion of the intellectual level...

    PIRSIG:
    "For purposes of MOQ precision, let's say the intellectual level is the
    same as mind. It is the collection and manipulation of symbols, created
    in the brain, that stand for patterns of experience."

    RICK
    Given this definition and your feelings about Quality in art.... Do you
    think that works of art which reveal truths about life are kinds of
    intellectual patterns that stand for patterns of experience?

    thanks
    rick
