Subject: Re: CMIARS a masterwork?

<Just to be pedantic, isn't (or wasn't) a masterwork the single piece 
that proved one was no longer an apprentice (and, in another system of 
craft production, could set up shop on one's own, and take on 
apprentices)?>

That's a good point, David and it is indeed ONE definition of the word. 
Using that definition you could successfully contend that STAS was a 
masterwork; that is it proved that she could hold her own with her fellow 
artists of the times.

By the same token, the other definition (and connotation) is the finest or 
most outstanding work of a specific artist. Which takes us to Betsy's 
description whereas Blue and Hejira (and Court and Spark) would fall into 
that category.

Neither definition supports CMIARS as a masterwork. Doesn't mean you 
shouldn't like it or even say that it's your favorite though.
