But Filonov never stayed with any school except his own, which he called "analytical art."

Cheever’s desire to make the Transcendentalists seem cool to a younger generation would have worked, except that she underestimated the intelligence of her intended audience. Anyone who might be interested in learning about these influential American authors—“the mothers and fathers of our literature,” as Cheever puts it—would be better served by simply looking them...
