...could relate him to that great American junkmeister Robert Rauschenberg, his contemporary, except that the whole tenor of his imagination was different, being based on handmaking, on high-intensity craft, rather than on semirandom assemblies of street detritus. Which is not to say that Westermann was a better or a worse artist than Rauschenberg--just wholly different, not least because of the dark side of his work...
Dyslexics, however, often can't get past the first step--breaking written words down into phonemes. This in no way reflects on their intelligence. Artist Robert Rauschenberg, actor Tom Cruise and Kinko's founder Paul Orfalea are just three of countless famous and successful dyslexics.

Over their bones rose a new edifice of taste enforcement, even more coercive than the old--the transnational bureaucracy of late modernism, staffed by as pompous a set of dullards as ever infested the shorter corridors of cultural power in 1900, all bombing on about their radical credentials. "The accursed power based on privilege," as Hilaire Belloc wrote...
