Big commotion! Wolves had been wiped out a couple of centuries previous, and suddenly: \u2018a wolf in Jutland!\u2019 Interest groups sprouted up that felt the wolf should be shot. A wolf-free Denmark, they said. Out trickled tales that seemed to have come from the Brothers Grimm. Letters fired off to editors screamed, \u2018The wolf is coming, the wolf is coming!\u2019 People said they were afraid that the wolf would approach their houses, would snatch their children. \u2018But Jutland is a big place,\u2019 said others, who knew that the most dangerous wolf is the one that lurks in our minds. \u2018Let\u2019s welcome the wolf back.\u2019 The debate was heated.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Vinson Cunningham has been staring at a lot of ugly things\u2014and reading Gretchen Henderson\u2019s new <em>Ugliness: A Cultural History<\/em>. The role of ugliness in our culture is changing, he writes: \u201cI can\u2019t remember the last time I heard one person call another person ugly. Art: sure. But when it comes to other human beings, we seem to have invested almost totally in metaphoric deployments of the word: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/culture\/cultural-comment\/the-ugly-truth\" target=\"_blank\">\u2018ugly\u2019 now describes degrading items<\/a> like the steadily worsening rhetoric of Donald Trump; or, simply, sinful behavior, as in: \u2018God don\u2019t like ugly.\u2019 This may seem like progress, but it could also be regarded as a kind of absurd end state for Aristotelian thinking. No longer does the outward merely track the inward: by an almost forgotten transitive process, the two have become one. And so, today, ugly means evil, and the philosopher\u2019s conflation is complete.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Today in the quest for utopia: pause to remember Paul Scheerbart (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/2015\/02\/09\/dreams-from-a-glass-house-an-interview-with-josiah-mcelheny\/\" target=\"_blank\">discussed previously on the <em>Daily<\/em><\/a>), a German writer whose work was animated by \u201cunfashionable, childlike hopefulness\u201d: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nybooks.com\/daily\/2015\/12\/16\/strange-paradise-of-paul-scheerbart\/\" target=\"_blank\">Scheerbart often reads like an apocalyptic mystic out of the Middle Ages who was somehow transported to the age of railroads and telegraphs<\/a>. He returns again and again to the idea that existence\u2014our own, or those of aliens on other planets\u2014can be transformed into a paradise inhabited by beings who are like gods \u2026 Yet the agency of earthly renewal, in Scheerbart\u2019s work, is not divine\u2014at least, not directly. It is, rather, the power of human ingenuity, operating with hitherto unimaginable tools and techniques, that will literally remake the face of the earth.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>A new exhibition, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2015\/12\/18\/arts\/design\/once-naughty-now-masterpieces.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">Splendor, Myth, and Vision: Nudes from the Prado<\/a>,\u201d gives a sumptuous public presentation to paintings that were once strictly a private affair: \u201cDuring the culturally repressive late-sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Spanish kings often secreted away their nude paintings in rooms known as \u2018salas reservadas,\u2019 where they could enjoy them in private \u2026 \u2018These types of paintings were considered anathema,\u2019 said Kathleen Morris \u2026 \u2018The royals, the kings and their entourage found a way around the idea that they were not considered to be appropriate.\u2019 \u201d<\/li>\n<li>If I know you, you\u2019ve been living in your little bubble, completely ignoring South Korean abstract art. Well, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thenation.com\/article\/its-time-to-stop-ignoring-south-korean-abstract-art\/\" target=\"_blank\">it\u2019s time to stop ignoring South Korean abstract art<\/a>, says Barry Schwabsky, who has paid attention while the rest of us distracted ourselves: \u201cOne attraction is that ready-made label: tansaekhwa (sometimes rendered <em>dansaekhwa<\/em>). The word means \u2018monochrome painting,\u2019 but it\u2019s usually translated as \u2018Korean monochrome painting\u2019 to distinguish it within the genre that came into existence in Russia when Malevich painted his white-on-white canvas in 1918 \u2026 Tansaekhwa deserves the attention of anyone with a genuine interest in painting, in part because it originated in a deep ambivalence about painting. In South Korea, education in painting runs on two separate tracks: \u2018Oriental\u2019 (ink) and \u2018Western\u2019 (oil). The tansaekhwa artists, born and partly educated in the prewar period of Japanese occupation, may not have been trained under this system, but it\u2019s worth considering their work not so much as a synthesis of these supposedly separate Asian and Euro-American strands, but in opposition to both\u2014as well as in opposition to the very dichotomy between them.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Danish writer Dorthe Nors decided to leave Copenhagen for Jutland, and she\u2019s having a wild time: \u201cJust about the time that I seriously began to consider moving from Copenhagen, the first wolf was sighted in Jutland.
