Lately I have started finding such statements in "major" art magazines. These few are from the November issue of Art in America, article entiteled "Ilya Kabakov Flies into His Picture"

"...modernism hasfrom the first been tainted by the revolutionary absolutes of Malevich.
...modernism is as problematic and potencially as murderouse as any other utopian idea. Modernism attempted the murder of other artistic possibilities."

"...There is a guilty pleasure in looking at these paintings (read - contemporary paintings done within the classic tradition), which do things the old-fashioned way, providing the visual gratifications of color, light, brushwork and subject matter that we have been taught to dismiss."

What do you think about that? Please post your thoughts and ideas
