1. We have come a certain way from Abstract Expressionism, and the question of how we should understand our relationship to it gets to be interesting again. Awe at its triumphs is long gone; but so is laughter at its cheap philosophy, or distaste for its heavy breathing, or boredom with its sublimity, or resentment at the part it played in the Cold War. Not that any of those feelings have gone away or ever should, but that it begins to be clear that none of them-not even the sum of them-amounts to an attitude to the painting in question. They are what artists and critics once had because they did not have an attitude-because something stood in the way of their making Abstract Expressionism a thing of the past
