No question. European art in the years just prior and immediately following World War I. The Germans, the Italians, the French and the Russians were all doing innovative work of incredible quality. None of the “fame and fortune” horseshit that permeates the art world today. Even a hack like Chagall was doing great work. The Russian Constructivists, the German Expressionists, the Cubo-Futurists, Schwitters, Klee, DeChirico, Malevich, on and on and on. We still have a lot to learn from them.

Dear Mr.Goff…thank you for your intelligent and “felt” article…I myself am still emerging and I’m 82 years old…full of ideas and projects but can’t find a space to work in. Real estate has become the enemy. Imagine that! Censored by no room to turn around in. The demands of clutter force me to work small when I envision big.
If you are not familiar with my work please find it in ART IN AMERICA jUNE/jULY 2007 ISSUE. Thank you again for your article…Actually it frightened me.
