In regards to that, Tom Wolfe's slim little book, THE PAINTED WORD would make an excellent companion-piece. It is a very funny & irreverent look at modern art & the appreciation thereof & as far as I can verify it it is wickedly accurate. It's one of those few books that made me laugh out loud. (The "Boho Dance" still cracks me up when I think about it.)
