And with much of Frank's work, this can be done in nano-seconds. (Not the early stuff, which I mostly like or love.)

the more interesting challenge is to find a work you like at first, but pick it apart until it seems ordinary and mediocre. it takes the aura off and makes abstract layers of context more apparent.

I want a few things where I like what I like, without then finding problems to focus on, away from what's good. I do enough of that already these days.
