Resource for James Elkins discussion on Friday

In my section of What Happened to Art Criticism?, Elkins refers back to this article by New Yorker writer Peter Schjeldahl.

Surrealism Revisited by Peter Schjeldahl

  1. Includes one of the great descriptive sentences of all time:

    "Imagine a Starr Report issued by a committee of fallen librarians"

    Why? It is timely and vivid. It's not written to the future (I wonder how many people in grad school know caught the reference...) - it's written to the people who are reading it in the moment...

    Thanks for linking...
