Talk:High modernism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aye, it does. Everyone I've read who speaks of "high modernism" uses the phrase pejoratively. Perhaps this should be made more explicit. Smerdis of Tlön 04:18, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Likewise, Wolfe shouldn't be listed as the only go-to guy in the further reading section, as his slant prevents a fair assessment. Ann Ardis, Charles Altieri, and a good many other scholars in the journal Modernism/Modernity have begun challenging the notion of literary high modernism.

[edit] In the arts section

Why is Steven Pinker headlining this section, let alone even in it? Shouldn't an art historian or period art critic whose work dealt with and defined "high modernism" headline it? Moreover, shouldn't it begin with a positive review of high modernism, like that from Clement Greenberg or Michael Fried? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.34.1.160 (talk) 02:33, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
