I don't know enough about art, modern art, or abstraction to fully comprehend Reinhardt's work here. But I loved every moment I spent with his "art comics." Reading these blunt, vibrant, commentary-filled panels is like walking through an art museum while stuffing firecrackers into your ears. "What do YOU represent?"
