Not me, chief. That was Roberto. I have no clue as to what art (by
implication, great art) is. I can tell only what I enjoy and why.

And there lies the rub. I can't think of an institution considered
authoritative in matters of art. The closest I can come is the French
Academy, and that's a bad joke.
