DCS:   When I was working as an editor at Aperture magazine, many decades later, that was still the central question: how does the work communicate to the reader? The magazine has to function as a mediator between the artist and the public—and it was Minor who set up that dynamic for Aperture. How does an artist take this intensely personal thing and universalize it so that people will get it on the other end? As an editor, Minor understood: the magazine brings it to the reader, and the reader in turn has to be able to take it and go with it.

I really like that sentence. 'how does the work communicate to the reader?' It is the reason why i choose the art class. As i wrote on first review, I want to understand art work. I don't know why many people want art. I can't feel any art works. The author tell us magazine is good thing for connecting with artist.
