Well done, Peter. I'd recommend looking into Tom Wolfe's extended essay "The Painted Word." It's a more historical look at these early and mid-20th century artists, but I think it would complement this essay.

Thank you for the recommendation, Ben! I really enjoyed reading "The Painted Word" and I found it very enlightening in regards to the inner workings that game of irony I alluded to. I would definitely pass along the recommendation to all who might read this.
