And what about the white walls of museums & art galleries. What about "the white cube" (Brian ' O Doherty) It takes Wigley a whole book to show that white walls are far from neutral. So therefore it seems to me a nice contradiction to say the opposite about the white walls of an art galllery. (page 8) In one sentence Wigley seems to forget that there was a very strong relationship between ...             Renaissance Self-Fashioning: From More to Shakespeare5 reviews Stephen Greenblatt University Of Chicago Press, 2005 The Best Book on the Renaissance Ever OK.
