      13. Spiegelman's experimental work had a profound influence on Alan Moore: i.e. use of text as ironic comment on images in "Watchmen"

      14. We use metaphor "experimental" art without realizing how accurate it is: art that invents something new, to be mass produced by others

      17.Hemingway married Stein's language games with narrative: the clipped, skeletal Hemingway sentence is a dialect of Steinian language.

      23. The avant-garde is often seen as the antithesis of mass culture. But what if it is the R&D department of mass culture?

          @HeerJeet I agree (a year late). British art schools, employing avant-garde composers as tutors, created British pop: Eno, Lennon, et al.
