Why am I so cranky when it comes to the art-world? Well, for example, John Ralston Saul’s ‘Images of Immortality’ a chapter in his 1992 book, Voltaire’s Bastards, comes across as the perfect art history, an overview from whence we’ve come, and relevant to our technological lives. Yet I began art school four years after it was made available through publication, and have not read it until now.So I resent an art education which did not expose me to this when it should have. I resent the art world that ignores such resources, or blindly treats them as irrelevant because it was written in Toronto and not Paris. Simple answer.
