Abstract
abstract:The author reviews Bucking the Artworld Tide: Reflections on Art, Pseudo Art, Art Education & Theory, a collection of essays on the visual arts by Michelle Marder Kamhi. In her view, Kamhi presents a compelling case against the modernist and postmodernist inventions that have come to dominate the artworld since the early twentieth century—from abstract work to "conceptual art." Citing countless paintings, sculptures, and works of purported art, these essays (informed by the principles of Rand's aesthetic theory) offer sparkling nuggets of insight into what art is, what it is not, and why.
