brief_description
'Modern art still perplexes many who find it difficult, ugly, arbitrary and reckless. The author believes that the accounts and explanations offered in its support often add to the problem, by stressing innnovation and rebelliousness as though change itself were a virtue. He sees no essential break ... between modern art and the art of the past and argues that more attention should be paid to the inner content of works and less to their superficial material and stylistic character.'
