To cowl with varnish. 1667, John Milton, "Book VII", in Paradise Misplaced.
1697, Virgil, "(please specify the e book quantity)", in John Dryden, transl., The Works of Virgil: Containing His Pastorals, Georgics, and Æneis.
The thesis of the e book, to be blunt about it, is that artwork in Manhattan handed in midcentury and past from the nighttime creations
of existential, heroic, romantic, artwork-history-minded revolutionaries hardened in the 30's to
the daytime works of empirical, eclectic, unheroic, relatively concept-free individualists who
had ripened in the shadow of the action-painting giants.
We now have: "the person's at-an-angle relationship with society," "go-with-the-flow neighbors," "an more and more knit-together, all the pieces-is-one-factor, homogenous character," "knock-you-in-your-teeth actualities," "the wacky-bleak fascination of a play by Samuel Beckett," "this every little thing-becoming-one thing-else moment," "extra-than-material but grounded within the materials of artwork," "the no matter-occurs-happens nihilism," "Ashbery's go-with-what-amuses-you attitude," and "the stark, no one-knows-you-when-you are-down-and-out decrepitude." Some of these Germanic compounds,
like "at-an-angle" and "go-with-the-flow," are useful sufficient to be used more than as soon as, but
they're, along with stretch adverbs like "amazingly,"
"infinitely" and "immensely," and such tenuous
ideas as "everydayness," "brownishness" and an "ordinariness" that "melts into the silveriness of the photographs,"
symptomatic of the stresses placed on the vocabulary of those that would write about artwork.
