"Lone hours in the studio crafting and packaging your zeitgeist
is not enough these days. In fact, even if you have your finger
on the pulse and produce firm ideas that encapsulate engaging images
and objects, that ain’t enough either. Art is expected to
somehow transcend history and also speak in the jargon of Contemporary

Peter Saul:
A Retrospective at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts
"As the boundaries between high and
low continue to meld or evaporate, it gives the unique opportunity
to reevaluate all sorts of intermediate art made outside the canon

painter Peter
Saul is not so curious at this
time though the venue may seem so..." read

Gustave Courbet
at the Metropolitan Museum of Art

directed at authority and partly because of his physical achievement.
He is at the center of the Modernist canon via Realism but that almost

Of course, any dialogue is good and should be applauded, but as a

Philadelphia art installations
review by Laura Fattal, Ph.D.

which it paired with contemporary visual artists to energize by
revisiting and reimagining some of the beautiful, monumental, and
