Art Envy
Dreamed before 2023/9/18 by Roz Chast
EDITOR'S NOTE
When I encounter art I like and wake to find it was a dream, I too feel this curious blend of delight, envy, and frustration that I won't get any more of that artist. But I have one more feeling Roz doesn't mention: loneliness. For I thought I'd found someone who shares my sensibilities, a potential friend--who then evaporates in the morning light. Instead, Roz here emphasizes envy and insecurity. And why not? She knows her market. There's a long New York (let alone New Yorker) tradition of self-mockery.
