Oh, I love references to the canon ( of western art). I just do. It is a wink and a nod to a rich past of academia that many of us are still mourning the passing of. Damn, I wish I was still an undergrad taking class after class of fascinating subjects, opening me more and more up to the level of intellectual promiscuity that I craved. And still do. And now, here we are.
We have sum of our learnings, firing away between our ears, begging to be let out, taken for a walk, anything!
Well, I am giving a quick flash of art history largess. I just have to let it out.
It may seem a little frenetic. I have not been manicuring or brushing it like academia required; picking choice words from a rich and leathery lexicon, composing flowing prose and constructing arguments supported by well gathered facts and sources. So here it goes...it's going to sound really Kanye.
OMG WHAT THE FUCK JEFF WALL!
