You see, the thing about Aldous Huxley is he was a Brit and he didn't want New York gaining even more cred as the world art capital with abstract expressionism, so he liked to make fun of it.
Which is ridiculous considering that a) he was supposed to be a free-thinker according to many of his books
and
(most importantly)
b) the guy was legally blind or just about there

Yet, there he is as the main intellect in a panel discussion several issues of Life magazine in the '40s putting down American Abstract Expressionist painters and cow-twoing to the lowest common denominator by calling it a sham.

I'll write it again.

Fuck Aldous Huxley.

(He's a) tremendously overrated author, (& a) tremedously overrated intellectual as well.

fuckin shit man take a deep breath, i only mentioned huxley because of MALPAIS is like new mexico, where i moved from dc; in fact, we have a national park here with that name. the word means "bad country". and im only asking for magazine recommendations here, thanks...
