Fun interview with Jeremy Gilbert-Rolfe. Even a nostalgic can sympathize with the bit about “When I started, I was dealing with people I thought were wrong, now I'm dealing with people who are not even wrong.” Of course he’d prefer to be thought of as a painter, but I fear he’ll always be a better critic. Still, his “hemming and hawing” about his own work is (almost) touching, coming to the admission “I'm not so sure that propositions which are founded in negation haven't become a sort of habit. So I'm not so sure that I work so confidently in a way like that now, as I would have been, when we were both younger.”
