Title: Idiosyncratic!
Review: The writer, in his own view, depicts how art is used through ages to portray the sociological, philosophical, political and economical trends of those particular ages. However, the author fails to see how also art is used in a mercantilist way, without a single clue to express the trendy message of the time, but to become the next big-new thing in the market. Finally, the author sees to much into art to look for reasons and reactions to socio-economic trends here in the US and the world, while in the mind of many artist, their aim to produce a piece that will produce a more comfortable and secure financial present and why not future, is not addressed in this book! I have to add, the research on every artist and piece of art addressed here is thoroughly done, accurate and very well documented. My two stars are actually for his research but not the theme of the book.
