Hi, I’m James Tarmy. Of the many conversational tropes I encounter as an arts columnist, “Do you know X artist in my collection?” followed by some variation of “They are very important, please agree with me” is probably the one that makes me cringe (internally) the most.
Not because I’m unused to speaking enthusiastically about art and certainly not because I care that someone’s proud of what’s on their wall. They should be! (Usually.)
