Intelligent Action A History of Artistic Research, Aesthetic Experience, and Artists in Academia

"Interesting and compelling." (Money on the Left) "Tim Ridlen's important study examines the broad sweep of art education in the U.S. during the post-WWII period, from MIT, to Rutgers, to Finch College to Cal Arts. This is a groundbreaking work that dramatically expands the new field of research launched by Howard Singerman in Art Subjects almost 25 years ago." - Grant Kester (Professor of Art History and founding editor of FIELD: A Journal of Socially Engaged Art Criticism)
