二十世纪的西方艺术历史是一个暴风雨般反叛、改变、价值重估和更新的叙事史。对于我们这些生活在这段历史后半段的人来说，很难察觉这个故事现在已经结束了——就是说，现代主义已经是过去的事了。尽管少数鼓吹者还存在，还很活跃，但是艺术追求的主流已经变了，只是给批评家和历史学家留下了叙述与清点这段历史的任务。 但是至今还没有人提供这样一个关于现代主义的综合性论叙。原因显然在于无人有能力对建筑师、舞蹈设计者、作曲家、电影制作者、小说家、画家和诗人的作品进行综合把握和评论。唯一的选择是省略现代主义观念，聚焦个别作品，这些作品的意义在于它们引起了所有门类的艺术和艺术家的改变。

The desert air is hot with sex and betrayal, death and madness and only Archer can make sense of a killer who makes murder a work of art. Finding a purloined portrait of a leggy blonde was supposed to be an easy paycheck for Detective Lew Archer, but that was before the bodies began piling up. Suddenly, Archer find himself smack in the middle of a decades-long mystery of a bril...(展开全部)
