Shallow art cause amnesia and other things I can't remember.
Reminiscence is not precision and truth in art is not skill and mimesis of life-like accuracy. Borderline art and crazy paintings must be more memorable than a perfect fine-art-world-like photography.
Mental life (memory, imagination...) is embodied in the whole range of material media.
W.J.T. Mitchell, What do pictures want ?
Reminiscences make certain paintings more memorable because memory is the medium of good art.
"I want people to remember themselves, in much the same way that babies discover their fingers.”
