But -- as you might notice, Boris --- there aren't any titles like:
"Modernism: What a Scam!" or "The Absurdity of Abstract Art"
(and God knows, this was not a man afraid to speak his mind)
I don't think he's especially attached to a 19th C. sensibility -- he's just
opposed to the ideology of contemporary art criticism and its institutional
application.
So he's not an enemy to you Boris --- but he is to folks like William.

I agree with the titles of books you presented, though I have not read any, I
feel his pain. But You can't ignore positive influences of Cubism on 20Th
century art and be attached strictly to 19Th century sensibilities. Boris
