Robsjohn-Gibbings, T.H. Mona Lisa’s Mustache, A Dissection of Modern Art. First Edition. 1948. Book and dust jacket are both in very good condition.
In Goodbye, Mr. Chippendale, Robsjohn-Gibbings skewered the antiques craze and praised modern design. It follows that he would prefer conceptual modern art to traditional. He does not. Here, he accuses Dali, Kandinsky, et al. to be engaged in a vast conspiracy against no less a principle than Democracy itself. In a twist worthy of The Da Vinci Code, Robsjohn-Gibbings exposes a secret society that schemed to make art incomprehensible by replacing it with concepts based upon primitive art and witchcraft.
