In "Homo Faber" by Max Frisch, the narrator shares a moment of candid expression while in Florence, where he voices his opinion on Fra Angelico's artwork. He describes it as somewhat sentimental but quickly rephrases his thoughts, labeling it instead as naïve. This correction reveals his awareness of the fragility of artistic interpretation and taste. The woman he speaks to seems to embrace his critique rather than be offended, showing enthusiasm for the simplistically innocent qualities of the artwork. Her delight indicates a deeper appreciation for naivety in art, contrasting with the narrator's more contemporary perspective, which leans toward enjoying a simpler pleasure, like drinking Campari.
