Not a book for light reading but if you want to know about art; give it a try.13 of 16 people found the following review helpful. A ground-breaking bookBy April WilsonIn his conclusion to "Painting Outside the Lines;" David Galenson writes:"this book has exposed a deep fault line in the history of modern art; by revealing the dramatic and systematic differences between experimental and conceptual approaches to artistic innovation that have separated seekers and finders over the course of time."Indeed; "Painting Outside the Lines" has done just that. Challenging the common assumption that all artists naturally produce more valuable paintings as they mature; Galenson has discovered that although some artists do conform to this expectation; others actually produce their most valuable paintings when they are younger. Experimental innovators;such as Cezanne and Motherwell; constantly revise their work;rarely feeling as if their work is ever fully completed; andhave their greatest success when they are older. No doubt they would agree with Nietzsches observation: "But it takes more courage to make an end than a new verse. All doctors and poets [and artists] know that." Conceptual artists; includingPicasso and Stella; on the other hand; make many drafts before they begin their paintings; and consider their paintingsfinished once their initial conception of them is complete. LeWitt; a conceptual painter; even went so far as to have his work executed by others.Galenson quantifies the value of artists paintings bytheir appearances in art exhibits and by their inclusionsin art books. This pragmatic approach is an innovativecontrast to the ways in which art historians evaluate art. Moreover; Galensons insight into the two radically different methods of artistic innovation could be applied to myriadother creative disciplines; including poetry and music.Galenson; himself an experimental economist; has ended his book on a dramatic note. I will be eager to see how he develops his own work further; now that his original theory is in place.
