wolfe provides his own history of what he sees as the devolution of modern art. he summarized that history: "in the beginning we got rid of nineteenth-century storybook realism. then we got rid of representational objects. then we got rid of the third dimension altogether and got really flat (abstract expressionism). then we got rid of airiness, brushstrokes, most of the paint, and the last viruses of drawing and complicated designs". after providing examples of other techniques and the schools that abandoned them, wolfe concluded with conceptual art: "…there, at last, it was! no more realism, no more representation objects, no more lines, colors, forms, and contours, no more pigments, no more brushstrokes. …art made its final flight, climbed higher and higher in an ever-decreasing tighter-turning spiral until… it disappeared up its own fundamental aperture… and came out the other side as art theory!… art theory pure and simple, words on a page, literature undefiled by vision… late twentieth-century modern art was about to fulfill its destiny, which was: to become nothing less than literature pure and simple".
