Judging from the titles of his books, William has concluded that the author was a psycho and the books are trash.
But I think those titles just show that the author was from another era -- back when it was acceptable to use plain talk when discussing high culture. Obviously, that era has passed. Unfortunately, there's no biographical information about Theodore Shaw, and I can't find anything about the Stuart Gallery which published his many diatribes. Assuming that he had been born around 1900 and then studied painting in Boston, he may well have been connected with the Boston school, including painters like William McGregor Paxton (1869-1941) who would later be so important to the revival of classical realism in our time. I wonder why he so ticked off about the Met. I'm going to have to order that book. ____________________________________________________________ Click for online loan, fast & no lender fee, approval today http://thirdpartyoffers.netzero.net/TGL2231/fc/PnY6rc1k18FjOfjLrnuf5XNRZvTdZ8 4i59reI3EFIrC2aFZkx7Pbm/
