Greenaway isn't interested in "tasteful". He's also not particularly interested in plot or conventional storytwlling. (Which is OK with me, since that's ALL nearly everybody else is interested in doing.)He's a formalist/constructionist. Prospero's Books and Pillow Book are almost like bookends - both explore PG's obsession with text, symbolism, imagery, numbers, form and transformation. I don't think he's done nearly anything as interesting to me since.
