I'm getting a lot out of "Art in Theory 1900-2000, An Anthology of Changing Ideas" Edited by Charles Harrison & Paul Wood, Blackwell Publishing,1992 (first published as Art in Theory 1900-1990). Most of the writers in it are critics as well as megalomaniacs like Marx and Hitler. Just to read that writing should be more than just "what happened" or that the early free love and abstract movements were totally destroyed by Stalin in favor of realism and worker art and that corrupt art was destroyed and artists thrown out of Berlin in a demand for sentimentality and Staatgheist with again realism gives me perspective looking at Computer Art and corporate media zero value for content and content creators. Watching the band wagon of anarchy and Communism switch horses alone is worth the read.
