I must say that I really feel sorry and sad for those who do not see the beauty and value in those Marden paintings. There are a lot of us, aren’t there?

You get used to it. The most beautiful thing I've ever seen, at least as far as thought-inducing beauty (as differentiated from the raw emotional beauty found in my deeply biased views I hold about my wife and two children), is either the fundamental theory of calculus and its relatives in higher dimensions, or the standard formulation of quantum mechanics (I can't decide between the two, and never could). But North of 99 out of 100 of the people I have known and loved and respected don't see either one as particular interesting even, let alone get all blurry-eyed about their beauty.Originally Posted by Bernie Kopfer

That Marden isn't just grey.
It's in the details, just like quantum mechanics.
Then again, I enjoy things like finding the cigarette ash, paper and tobacco in Pollock's work too.

Lucas vehicle lighting systems had three levels; off, dim & flicker.Marred only by an electrical system by Lucas Prince of Darkness.
Beer & ale in Briton are served warm because the refrigerators are made by Lucas.
Though they were renowned for one of their products that didn't suck… Vacuum cleaners.

Briton seems to have sorted out the car electrical problem, and everything that Dyson sells sucks. You live in the dark ages Jim.
