My fave is James Stirling. Postmodernism done right.R. Mute posted:everything from the impressionist onwards is technically modern art Olympia was from before Manet met and joined the other Impressionists. Although it is seen as a watershed in the movement that would become Impressionism, it is not unto itself an example of the form, or more crucially, Modern. vvvvv OK, now you're just trolling.

the humanities hall (e.g. where foreign language classes are held) and another building where the history professors have their offices are all brutalist at least they're like yellowish so that they don't look completely soul-crushing when you get close to them

baw posted:so i read perlstein's trilogy, fear and loathing campaign trail 72 and nixon agonistes, which was really great. i need to reread some of the later parts because it was a little over my head but the chapters about nixon and eisenhower's relationship were great (especially the duel of the checkers speech) and the parts about what an american presidential election even means really make u think. he explains that say you have ten issues that you care about, you have a candidate that agrees with four of them, or maybe just two of them but they are very important to you, or maybe his opponent strongly takes the opposite stance on one of your important issues, and in the end after every voter makes these judgments while casting their vote then what kind of mandate does a president really even have? You read some good books! Nixon Agonistes should be required reading for anyone interested in US politics. I'd recommend Hofstadter's Anti-Intellectualism in American Life if you want some more like that, or Tim Weiner's Legacy of Ashes (about the CIA) and Enemies (about the FBI) if you're in the mood for something closer to Perlstein's narrative history.

what about more campaign books? wills mentions murat halstead as being the best chronicler of presidential campaigns and i think those are my current favorite thing to read about. i guess i need to finally read hofstadter since he got namedropped a lot in nixon agonistes also we're coming up on the 50th anniversary of goldwater's defeat. i'd make a thread but i won't have access to my books for a few weeks

baw posted:what about more campaign books? Collision 2012 is the best campaign retrospective on that election. What It Takes (about 1988) is the best all around. The Boys on the Bus is a fun look at how dumb the media coverage is, but it's been 40 years and that topic's pretty old hat. Oops! is the best campaign diary from the 2012 primary from a reporter who was covering one of the Republican candidates. Guess which one!

Modernism isn't over y'all, postmodernism was a feint. Notice how everything is still Helvetica? yeahhh. Search your feelings you know it to be true. Modern art isn't over either, look at this latest development called "a video game that cost more than a movie to produce" e: VVV Mansard roofs are ugly
