I agree with the titles of books you presented, though I have not read any, I feel his pain. But You can't ignore positive influences of Cubism on 20Th century art and be attached strictly to 19Th century sensibilities. Boris Shoshensky

What a prophet! (even if he's obviously addressing a middle-brow audience -- which was probably a fatal flaw) Almost all of them were published by the Stuart Gallery, Boston. Is anyone on this list familiar with that institution ? ____________________________________________________________ Criminal Lawyers - Click here. http://thirdpartyoffers.netzero.net/TGL2241/fc/PnY6ryAYbWsrAjxMHySqLKcIEcDFoy a7RiwEBnsEgMLtjIb494S7C/
