About Me

Art historian and critic.
I'm sorry to say this, but after 13 years of trying, I'm giving up on Librarything. I've tried to find & nourish connections here, start conversations, get responses, but it's a great silence. I love all the stats, but on Substack (@jameselkins) there is at least an intermittent community. From now (December 1, 2022) on, I won't be adding anything new or revising older texts.
