Edward Gorey’s “Great Simple Theory About Art”

Emily Temple discussed this week (Feb. 19) at Literary Hub those trying to "figure out" what makes some people - like Edward Gorey - tick. 

It is, according to Gorey, “the theory . . . that anything that is art . . . is presumably about some certain thing, but is really always about something else, and it’s no good having one without the other, because if you just have the something it is boring and if you just have the something else it’s irritating.”

Or is it simple at all?
