Abstract

Since the College Art Journal commenced publication in November 1941, a series of articles on “modern art” has been published, debating first the question of what place the study of contemporary art should be given in the curricula of college art departments, and more recently the nature and value of “modern art” itself. M. Masson's recent book, Anatomy of My Universe,1 in the course of forty-six pages of drawings and commentaries illustrates more of the points in debate than any other single work of my acquaintance. M. Masson, however, does not provide a text-book of theory. He does not even provide a consecutive exposition of any coherent system of ideas. He acts in the specifically private, intuitive and aesthetic manner to which we have come to limit the word art.
