There is a storm coming for the world. It has been coming for a long time. Art history has documented the path.
In my recent month spent in NYC, I attended 3 blockbuster shows of white European male artists: Raphael at the Met, Paul Klee at the Jewish Museum and Marcel Duchamp at MoMA. Each of these artists had a strategy for success our society continues to lionize. Collectively, the three represent a trajectory of how culture reflects itself in a pyramid of success.
