But I agree with Tom (Watson, not Wolfe) on the tendency toward a one-dimensional view of whatever subject is at hand. Reading Wolfe on modern art and architecture (particularly The Painted Word but also From Bauhaus to Our House) can be annoying as hell if you know anything at all about art. He certainly did not convince me, despite its excesses and methods, that the entire project of Modern Art -- which occupied so many people and had such an impact in the 20th Century -- was complete bullshit, though he certainly tried.
