Scope and Contents

In this newsletter, Curry quotes part of a letter written to him by Marvin Sackner describing a conversation with an art historian regarding the introduction to the exhibition catalog "The Altered Page." "After reading the first sentance, she smiled & said such an essay could never be written by a professional art critic or historian - they would never begin an essay with a statement of purpose (like a scientist) but would lay on some bullshit for a few pages before reaching a point." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
