American Moderns on Paper presents a selection of approximately 100 of the finest watercolors, pastels, and drawings by leading American modernists from the Wadsworth Atheneum's renowned collection of American art. Works by Sloan, O'Keeffe, Hopper, Marin, Dalí, and Wyeth, among many others, serve as notable examples of the various styles and subjects pursued by artists in America from 1910 to 1960. The catalogue entries are accompanied by artist biographies.
Organized chronologically, and generously illustrated throughout, the catalogue is introduced by two essays exploring the historical significance of the collection and the importance to American modernists of working on paper, rather than canvas. Providing a rich history of the collection, the volume illuminates not only its historic roots, but also the concurrent national evolution of interest in watercolor and drawings.

American Moderns on Paper: Masterworks from the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art
I'm not really very interested in performance art as such, which this book spends a good deal of time discussing--I am interested in identity performance, but I don't think I got much more on that subject from this book than I already had from Judith Butler and Homi Bhabha. I accept that the task is nearly impossible, but I'm not sure how well this critical introduction actually covered performance as such. I think it did a better job providing an intro than I got out of it.
One of the things I found particularly problematic about Carlson's style is that ideas flow into one another, so he will introduce a certain thought and midway through the paragraph that is developing that thought he'll begin working to a new thought. I suppose this reflects the fluidity and movement of much performance, but I found it difficult to follow the movement of some of Carlson's logic because it seems like he rarely wraps up a thought in what I would call a comprehensive manner.
