A word from our sponsors...

I reckon that the previous post is a bit strange, and the humour may be a bit too subtle even for the most cynical of brits... But maybe these links help a bit. The essay was a homework assignment that I recently found in my papers, from an english class at RISD, a loong time ago. The assignment was to portray a meeting between the hardened feminist Linda Nochlin and a hard-headed, famous "artist" (at the time), Ad Reinhardt. For you to have an idea of what he considered to be art, this is one of his notorious "Black" paintings -

"Ad" Reinhardt was a painter, writer, and pioneer of conceptual and minimal art. He was also a critic of abstract expressionism.

Professor and art historian Linda Nochlin is a leader in feminist art history studies.
