Excellent lecture. It’s been a few years since I’d thought much about the movement and needed a refresher. You nailed it. Your insights and ability to make the connections are quite good.👍

Wonderful to revisit the Art Since WW2 that I took in college in the early 80s. Great lecture. My friend who, before watching this would tell you he didn't understand abstract art. Now he thinks he does.
