Magritte expectations: Mark Tansey's whimsical, thought-provoking canvases are turning painting on its head

Article Abstract:

Tansey, a 42-year old New York, NY, based artist, is known for his satire of art criticism. He believes that critics are unable to view art 'innocently' and to respond to it, especially abstract art, without depending upon intellectual dogma. A new book about his work by Albert Danto is available.
