Greetings!
In this first blog post, I’m pleased to trumpet the release next week of the book I’ve been working on for more than a decade: Who Says That’s Art? A Commonsense View of the Visual Arts.
As emphasized in the press release announcing publication, the book throws down the gauntlet to the contemporary art establishment. I look forward to a lively debate regarding the challenge I’ve posed.
I will use this space to refine and expand upon the argument presented in Who Says That’s Art?, as well as to offer further observations on the world of art, past and present.
I invite readers to comment, pro or con, provided they do so civilly—under their real name, unless there’s a compelling reason not to do so.
I look forward to hearing from you!
I read your article titled
Understanding Contemporary Art

Thanks for letting me know you found the article of value, Brook. How did you learn of it?
The criticism is indeed based on what you’ve actually written. But don’t take my word for it. Please read the thread for yourself when you have time, and then join us in the discussion.

Thanks, Jonathan. I welcome thoughtful discussion of the book’s content. Criticism will, I trust, be based on what I’ve actually written, rather than on presuppositions.
