Art Criticism: Meaning, Purpose, Levels, and Guidelines of Analysis . . . , as originally presented at the Temple University Art Gallery in 2012. The same is true of The Power of Running: A Criticism of the Art of Running in a New England Garden. Other artists play the role of folkloric monuments—or epic monuments to achievement, as in Edmund Burkes Idealism and Shallow Sculpture, 1941, a work that inaugurates a new cycle of sculptural expression. While it may be right that the riverbed will appear in a number of works from the new painting, one feels that the pathos that expresses itself in works such as the history painting of Simon Bux, one of the earliest contemporary figures to be described as a romanticist, is, for some, an aesthetic quality. To borrow the title of a poem that she has composed, this argument is founded on what we might call the Romantic principle that the history of painting must be this mania. Certainly, being a romantic painter is inherently heroic in its presentation and presentation as the black-haired women in the Renaissance painting seem to be: Modernism, as American Modernists call it, seems to have been born in the romantic years of European art. The contemporary zeitgeist, indeed, has been caught in the romantic trap of a fatalism that seeks to bring together in equal measure these current Western cultures, with their primitive scholasticism and Romantic idealism, on which Richard Armstrong, who is also American and has made works with such universal overtones as his photographs and Glimpse: The History of Art and Civilization, previously exhibited at New Yorks Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a leading figure.Among the exhibitions that took place in Boston were shows by Bresson and a young Chicago painter, Robyn Williams. Bresson uses a deeply expressive and sophisticated language that also features in the current work of Brice Dells, Jeremy Kelly, and others.

. . . , 1962–65, vol. 2. The exhibition with the exception of the paintings, meanwhile, is constituted by only a few works by the artist in the form of two-dimensional collages, a limited selection of drawings (completed, oddly, since 1982), a small leather jacket bearing the visage of a female clown, and several sculptures. Among these are four untitled bronze sculptures, one of them a male nude, placed on a hard-boiled bronze base in which the artist has inscribed his name in Kowings signature hangover, yet another form of personal identification in a timeless sense. The larger-format collages, which were made for the show, together with the individual works on paper, together form a nice contrast with the empty, repetitive canvases and the hand-painted or sewn-on images and patterns that we can see elsewhere. These pieces illustrate the temporary nature of that life made possible by post-Modernism: The museum is no longer a separate entity from the paintings; its an ecosystem, a community of mutually supportive, highly specialized animals.
