Motherwell was one of the first conceptual artists, though his imagery and the labels given him were otherwise.

How does the Baudelairian definition of Modernism fit with the Modernism of Myth and Primitivism?

"...cheese, wine, fire, women, that kind of things..." an elitist, misogynist man of the 70s...
