This hasn't been a good month for people who write about the arts.
Clive Barnes, who died Wednesday, was one of the best writers about dance in the world, one of those passionate people who seemed to have seen everything, remembered it clearly, and could express exactly what effect it had upon him in sparkling prose.
When Tulsa Ballet Theater went to New York City for the first time in 1983, Barnes reviewed that performance, writing that "Tulsa Ballet Theater is one of the best things to be associated with Oklahoma since Rodgers and Hammerstein."
He also summed the feeling that a lot of people who write about so many aspects of the arts have about the work they do.
“The job’s impossible,” he once said, “and one must pray that one will be only moderately incompetent.”
