I thought this might be a relevant video: it's from Robert Hughes' "The Shock of The New" way back in the day, and he's criticizing modernism as a philosophy. Keep in mind when I embed this I'm playing in part devil's advocate because I think in a lot of ways Hughes is a miserable blubbering grouch, and his views on timelessness are (in my express opinion) stupid. Proof positive he's stuck in the mud is his more recent production for BBC4 "The New Shock of The New" whose title I think says everything about his thought process or rather, his thought sedentary stillness (after YEARS!). Still, he has a point here.
