- Abstract (en)
- Discusses Abstract Expressionism and the question of its American-ness. Draws attention to the debt of the New York School to European modernism, especially the School of Paris, and relates the wild or primitive quality associated with Pollack to Surrealism. Considers the critical views of Clement Greenberg, noting that he was out of sympathy with much of the art with which he has been identified. Observes that flat, self-referential painting, exemplified by Ad Reinhardt, became the philosophical terminus of high art; and asserts that it was Pop art, e.g., Warhol's Brillo boxes, that stated the problem of the nature of art in its philosophical form, ending the history of art in the West.
