TT: Art, American style
Here's a sneak preview of my next "Sightings" column, which will be published in Saturday's Wall Street Journal:What do the music of Aaron Copland, the dances of Paul Taylor, the paintings of Stuart Davis and the novels of Willa Cather have in common? They're all American--and all-American. You can't listen to five bars of "Appalachian Spring," or read a paragraph of "My Ántonia," without catching the tangy scent of American modernism. It's as familiar as the smell of wood smoke on a cold November evening....
Needless to say, there's much, much more where that came from. See for yourself--buy a copy of tomorrow's Journal and look me up.
