I thought I would clarify something. If we use "fairness" to refer to procedural integrity, and "justice" to refer to the substantive result, I would say that in many instances the obligation is to be fair, in pursuit of justice, but with the recognition that justice is harder to obtain, and there is no shame in falling short from time to time. When I refer to the obligation to make "fair comment" on artistic reputation, I mean that I think one should make a reasonable effort to know the body of the artist's work, the context in which he operated, and the rationale for his innovations, supposing perplexity. Only someone who has done the homework has treated the artist fairly enough, and even if there is disagreement, at least one can respect his opinion. Otherwise, one should refer tentatively to one's personal impressions, and leave it at that..........
