An amusing parlor- game look at the great artistic works of the twentieth- century,
By Shalom Freedman "Shalom Freedman" (Jerusalem,Israel) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Charlie Rose with Robert Hughes, Rob Reiner, Norm Pearlstine, Sheryl Crow, & Anna Deveare Smith (May 25, 1998) (DVD)
Everyone involved here understands that they are engaged in a not- very- serious kind of conversation, a parlor- game in which name- dropping is the principal activity. The aim is to survery the Arts in the twentieth- century and come up with the big names. Painting, Architecture, Photography, Music, Literature, Film, Theatre are taken one- by- one and briefly surveyed. There is no effort to distinguish between the various Arts as to their importance and weight. And I had a sense of distortion here in the fact that Literature was given about three seconds. A quick mention of Joyce by Reiner, a mention of Kafka by Robert Hughes and not much else. At the end Charlie Rose went around the table and the general conclusion was that Picasso was the most significant cultural creator in the century. At some point Charlie Rose also pointed to the audience and gave them a chance to throw out some names, all of which were also accepted.
