#Auldlangreads #Newinthetitle Still one of my all time favorite books about modern art.Of course ,it only goes up to the 1980 .There was a TV series as well.
I felt Hughes described clearly how 20th century art movements were reacting to and commenting on the contemporary world , yet were often seen as so avant-garde they were misunderstood in their time.

#12daysofChristmas #fivegoldrings Ok, so it‘s not 5 gold rings but it is “I saw the figure 5 in Gold “by Charles Demuth .It‘s in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum. Demuth was inspired by the William Carlos Williams poem “The Great Figure.”Love Shock of the New as a book and a documentary series,a thought provoking overview of modern art .
