Rivalry Played Out on Canvas and Page
this article is good for two reasons; this exhibition has works by DeKooning who was at the Bauhaus with Wolpe.It makes fun of art critics. What else could you want?
The opening and closing sentences encapsulate the entire article in a sort of Schenkerian analysis. First sentence: "Art is long, art criticism is often very, very brief, its Internet afterlife notwithstanding. "
Last sentence "Neither critic was impressed but, as is so often the case, art went on without them."
It all gets reduced to Mozart in the end.
