ABOUT THE BLOGGER

Brian A. Oard is an atheist, an aesthete, a leftist, an existentialist, and quite a few other nouns. He is the creator of the literary blog Mindful Pleasures and the author of a collection of art criticism, Beauty and Terror: Essays on the Power of Painting and a historical novel, The Degas Manuscript. (Both books can be read online by clicking on the titles.) He lives in the United States, loves London and Paris, and enjoys the cheap objectivity of writing about himself in the third person.

Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary defines an epigram as "a terse, sage or witty and often paradoxical saying." The word entered the English language in the 15th century and derives ultimately from the Greek epi + graphein, meaning to write on, inscribe.
