How New York Stole the Idea of Modern Art
If you are interested in modern art and know a little about the New York School this gives you a whole other view of the period. It's not so much on the artists but on the motivation, the political views of the players at that time. Critics, merchants, politicians and artists were all involve in a struggle for liberty, democracy and culture. The American way. This essay doesn't shy away from unpopular views and from polemic. Interesting read.
