Summary: Yes, but. . .
Comment: . . . who is David B. Stewart, and couldn't he get his review published in a real journal? Just a bit of advice for the fatally credulous: when one academic treats the work of another academic as though it were handed down like the Ten Commandments to Moses, beware. If he is not a close friend or former student of the author, he is surely someone who seeks the latter's favor. Yes, Clark is a smart fellow, and this is a good book. If the topic interests you, then you should certainly buy it. I agree with folks such as Clark and Thomas Crow (Clark's former student and a subtler thinker than his mentor), as well as with Albrecht Wellmer, Axel Honneth, et. al., that modernism must be understood as a response to modernity, a moment of negation within the logic of capitalism and affirmative culture. And Clark does a good job of showing the dynamics of resistance and recuperation at work within an object. But he is by no means the second coming of Aby Warburg (or Walter Benjamin, for that matter). Then again, who is?

Summary: a LONG book
Comment: Some great essays (Malevich!!) yet the overall tone is SO nostalgic. Yes, the world is f***ed up, but it's hard to take this kind of solipsism from all the straight male marxists of academia. May the revolution(s) have just gone elsewhere for now.
