Tom Wolfe - Art Critiques

Art Critiques

Wolfe also wrote two highly skeptical social histories of modern art and modern architecture, The Painted Word and From Bauhaus to Our House, in 1975 and 1981, respectively. The Painted Word mocked the excessive insularity of the art world and its dependence on what he saw as faddish critical theory, while From Bauhaus to Our House explored the negative effects of the Bauhaus style on the evolution of modern architecture.

Famous quotes containing the word art:

    “And what art thou, thou idol ceremony?
    What kind of god art thou, that suffer’st more
    Of mortal griefs than do thy worshippers?
    What are thy rents? What are thy comings-in?
    O ceremony, show me but thy worth.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
