Real Clear Arts

I may break news, but more likely I will comment, provide perspective, connect the dots, or spotlight something special that you may have missed. I believe that culture, as opposed to entertainment, should be a bigger part of Americans' lives, and I'll take every opportunity to share developments I see that further that goal.

Issues and ideas are important to me - I might have called this effort "arts & ideas" had I not needed a catchier name - and so are off-the-beaten path discoveries.

And about that name: yes, it mimics the name of the very successful political site, but it also describes the clear-eyed vision I aspire to give readers.

"As she's one of the most clear-eyed journalists in the field, I expect great things. Her first post, on the Yves St. Laurent auction last week in Paris, finds her off to a great start" ... from Michael Gross, Gripebox.
