I don't remember where it was, but after the concert a gentleman came up to me and said he was Tarkovsky's biggest fan. I said that I was the biggest.
He was arguing." I have all his books," he said.
"Me too," I said
"I have the DVDs too!" He said
"Me too! And I have a t-shirt, too,"
I added with a smile. He shook my hand and walked away.
I won HAH!
I found it written in my notes:
art should primarily influence human emotions, not reason
art is aristocratic in nature and has a naturally selective influence on the audience the viewer's experience is all the more pronounced the more his soul is impressed
if you want to enjoy art, you must be an artistically cultivated person
