In "The Painted Word", Tom Wolfe offers a sharp critique of the modern art world. He describes how modern art, in its quest to break with the past, has paradoxically become as literary and academic as what it was trying to escape. With his characteristic satirical style, Wolfe analyzes the obsession of modern art with critics and gurus, and how this dependence has led to absurd situations. The book is a fun and provocative exploration of the trends and contradictions of contemporary art.
Thomas Kennerly Wolfe Jr. was an American author and journalist widely known for his association with New Journalism, a style of news writing and journalism developed in the 1960s and 1970s that incorporated literary techniques. Much of Wolfe's work is satirical and centers on the counterculture of the 1960s and issues related to class, social status, and the lifestyles of the economic and intellectual elites of New York City.
