nobirene said Some Views on the Art Scene and School. This is a very interesting book. It's Rashomon of the art scene of the'70s and the '80s. Of course, the stories told are rather subjective but important nevertheless as they give us insight into how the art scene worked during those decades and later when the visual arts were beginning to become influenced by the psychology and philosophy of the time and had become more an intellectual activity than visual or what had included the crafts and artisanship which got relegated to non-art status while interestingly art itself had been turned into non-ar. "Fun book" according to M.C. This book is a must if you are at all interested in learning about the history of the California arts scene. It is rare to find such a well written collection of first hand accounts about artists growing up. Obviously, there is a bias and agenda to the book, but I think in this case thats a good thing, something that in itself should be questioned.
