Perhaps I should have started with refreshing my art knowledge and vocabulary before deep-diving into such a theoretical piece, but it is what it is. I'm joyous to notice that my knowledge *is* slowly creeping back, though, lol.

Also:
"If what we call "identity" were not anchored in a constant relationship with environment, it would be lost in the chaos of swirling impressions that never repeat themselves."

Just starting Part 1.

The prefaces and the introduction have already raised countless interesting questions and problems. I'm afraid I do not possess enough argumentative prowess to fully understand and comprehend what is about to come, but it is proving to be a joyful and informative read nonetheless.
