“Because of its personal nature, the history of art is a revenge by individuals against the impersonality of the broader history of humanity.” Milan Kundera
Rings loud and true, Robert. I was particularly struck by something I have often discussed with my sons and friends and acquaintances (sometimes with a different aim) - ''their distortions of the educational system, their narrow re-writing of history in schoolbooks''. I have realised numerous times, the lies told during my school days, for example, and beyond. Namely, I feel cheated of many historical truths which have become apparent, either as a cascade or drip by drip.
Thanks...can you send me an email? I would like to send you a longer document which has a more detailed response to you observations.......
