...mask as a reaction to the extreme subjectivity of overblown Romanticism and draws interesting parallels to the poetry of T.S. Eliot. But here, too, his polemic dislike of Schoenberg leads him to inaccuracy and self-contradiction. Having accused the serialists of mechanically turning out music that is "form without content," he now condemns them for discarding the order imposed by diatonicism. Stravinsky's "great save," neoclassicism, is "the concept that could finally impose some aesthetic order on this modernist chaos...
...content with making movies, Fellini seems determined to create a whole new world along with each new film--not a distorted reproduction of some world that is or has been, but a fresh-from-the-forehead-of-the-creator god world with its own pleasures, values and idiosyncracies.

...romantics than was Turner, with his cobbled-to-gether education, his stinginess and gruff bearing. But no 19th century painter, not even Cezanne, has changed our perception of landscape more radically. This is an opportune show, coming as it does when American formalism is dead and an interest in content is reviving. For Turner was a master of meaning, and to see him as a modern artist (which he was) means leaving the formalist hierarchies on one side...
