Mostra dedicata a Modigliani

Zborowski called Modigliani “a child of the stars” and said he was “worth two Picassos”. Dal 16 marzo al 16 luglio il Palazzo Ducale di Genova ospiterà una mostra dedicata a Modigliani. È indubbio che la fortuna di Modigliani iniziò il giorno dopo la sua morte. E che in vita, non ebbe mai quel consenso e riconoscimento del suo stile che aveva sempre cercato.

Value judgments constitute the substance of aesthetic experience. by Greenberg

  Value judgments constitute the substance of aesthetic experience. I don’t want to argue this assertion. I point to it as a fact, the fact that identifies the presence, the reality in experience of the aesthetic. I don’t want to argue, either, about the nature of aesthetic value judgments.

Robert Morris / Sôlido-Interview

  ROBERT MORRIS By WADE GUYTON Robert Morris, Untitled (Brown Felt), 1973 History—art history in particular—relies on false constructs like decades or movements to make sense of time.
