A bit dry and academic - but still illuminating; and I am certainly learning from it. I am almost up to the section where he begins to discuss early Picasso. I understand now (finally), e.g., why Gauguin is considered a "Symbolist". GHH presupposes familiarity with the artists he discusses. There is a generous collection of plates in the back of the book, but they are in black and white, and not always helpful.

Very slow, and very rich. Modernism entails the substitution of substance with flux, being with beoming...; the rejection of Aristotle, and the replacement of him with Whitehead. When I have the time to develop this idea at greater length, it will make more sense (I trust) and will prove to be a critical insight. Meanwhile, a very good book, though quite abstract.

Very rich, nuanced, textured, mature..., I am reading it through - and between - the raindrops...
