The claim that Matisse's Le Bonheur de vivre "opens the gates of twentieth-century art" seems a bit hyperbolic to me, at least in the context of an academic text like this one, but it's obvious that the painting served as a simultaneous collage (in the figurative sense) of and transition from the artistic trends that were moving immediately before it. It propelled 20-th century art forward, to be sure.

The roundtable discussion at the end of the book is somewhere between an academic Four Yorkshiremen sketch and the politico-intellectual palavering of the Holy Grails repressed peasants. So tiresome . . .

The year is now 1992. I was in college at that time, studying math and physics then. The next year, I did a complete turnaround and changed to working on my Bachelor's in Humanities (History Emphasis) and a minor in Anthropology. Ironically, from 1993 until 2000, I had a keen interest and a fair amount of formal study regarding art. Ironically, it was all art of the past, so I probably missed everything here.
