Questions and Answers with Jeff
Q: Does art matter?
A: I have a couple of old globes. Those worlds are made up of countries that no longer exist. French Indochina. Siam. Rhodesia. Belgian Congo. The Kingdom of Sarawak. The USSR, even; I’m old enough to find that difficult to fathom. They’re gone, but Flannery O’Connor, Jackson Pollock and Bob Dylan will always exist. That’s how I know art matters.
