...TIME cater to artistic platitudes like the work of this "fantastic" Steinberg? Somewhere along the line, artists apparently decided that beauty and expressiveness in a work are old hat, and by masquerading behind secure parodies they can get away with a minimum of thought and effort. O.K., let's admit the world is crazy. But does that mean our art and culture should repress creativity and optimism and thereby give in to absurdity? Steinberg has proved to me that he and the other moderns are bored...
