If form criticism served to draw attention to the theology of the Church in the formative period of the oral tradition, scholarship
today is concentrating
upon the
influence of the evangelists» theologies
upon the Gospels.
Today, the LAFMS are an acknowledged
influence upon musicians as diverse as Sonic Youth, Hanatarash, and Pan Records boss Bill Kouligas.
It may seem almost absurd to even suggest that the
influence of the works of the so - called French, German, and Italian «Post Impressionists,» «Futurists,» «Cubists,» and other «ists,» as exemplified by representative examples at the Armory show, can have any immediate, or even near future effect,
upon the generally strong, good and, from the conventional art viewpoint, sane, American painting and sculpture of
today, but there is no doubt that the study of these new groupings, called «movements» in painting and sculpture, which have so emphasized and
influenced the art of Europe
today, for the past 5 years, and even the derision which they have excited, and will continue to excite, has had and will have a stimulating effect.
