Wow

We've already touched on the Serra retrospective at Moma, but this image, by Fred Conrad in today's New York Times is worth another look, as is the great review by Michael Kimmelman, who calls Serra "one of the last great modernists in an age of minor talents, mad money and so much meaningless art." No argument there, Michael. Modernism, for all its foibles and false utopias, is still closest to my heart -- in art, at least. Form, material, space, light -- art's big dogs, in my opinion , the basis of emotional and visceral conveyance -- are all too often obscured or ignored by artists who think their idea or intent is more important than the representation of it they create. Wrong. Serra is indelible proof.
