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:

    “Sweet Benjamin, since thou art young,
    And hast not yet the use of tongue,
    Make it thy slave, while thou art free;
    Imprison it, lest it do thee.”
    —John Hoskyns (1566–1638)
