I got a massive book yesterday for my birthday. It will be probably take me the rest of my life to get even halway through, I reckon. So densely textured, it like trying to walk through a glorious cloying nightmare.
It is ART IN THEORY 1900-2000 An Anthology of Changing Ideas

I learnt about Neo-Impressionism today, or I think I did - in a very amorphous fashion.
It's wonderful.
Conveniently, today, I finished Dominic Sandbrook's massive 'You Never Had
It So Good' today - a very detailed, academic but essentially entertaining
history of Britain 1957 - 1963, written by someone who did not live through
that era.
It has occurred to me that 'Cone Zero' could, one day, become a technical
term in the Aesthetics of Painting...?
