Should you have doubts about Modern Art, its isms, critics and artists such as Pollock, Rothko, de Kooning, and even Cezanne, Picasso, and Matisse. This book will offer you a view from the other side. After ninety years of Artspeak jargon, it's time for some serious counter criticism. To that end, I will supply understandable technical reasons for rejecting that facet of modern art that should really be called Modern Academic

This book is for the general reader to whom I offer serious points written in clear English couched in humor rather than inflated academese, along with relevant personal experiences in the art world and my amusing adventures in art education. High value Modern Art is the creation of a “System” a clever exercise by dealers, critics and curators designed to con rich buyers who feel they must cover the walls of their mansions with fashionably painted investments.

By opposing the guardians of fashion and the manufacturers of its high priced products embellished with coveted signatures, this book will undoubtedly offend many people. So before my detractors send out their police dogs and accuse me of writing a book that is analytical, negative, sarcastic, contrarian, cynical and clearly disrespectful, let me assure them here and now, that they are completely correct.
