Canaday's limitations are very apparent, and while I might agree with some of his assessments about the lesser lights of Abstract Expressionism, it's clear that he never understood the movement; he never grasps that abstraction could be of more than just formal interest. Instead, Canaday needed to see the subject represented, so where he knocks Mark Rothko or Franz Kline, he holds up histrionic "image of man" artists such as Antonio Saura, James Kearns, and Leonard Baskin, none of whom have dated well.
To add insult to injury, his hamfisted attempts at humor (including not one but two articles about fictional artists he thinks represent the folly of the era) in comparison make Garrison Keillor sound like an edgy alternative comic. ( )
