[edit] Needs some refinement

I would think that Formalism dominated modern art from the late 1800s through the 1960s. is much too simplistic. It is unclear if that means formalism in art criticism or formalism in the making of art. Either way, it would be wrong. Formalists would like to think that it dominated modern art for that long.Brosi 21:37, 28 December 2006 (UTC)


I also find it suspect to refer to Duchamp as a Post Structuralist. He was a dadaist, Modernist, Surrealist.... anti art Chess master. (Billyvamp4 (talk) 01:49, 17 December 2007 (UTC))

[edit] one more thing
