abstract: This chapter examines modern art’s educational legacy and finds both a continuum of
values and the fractured ideals of half realized endeavors. Atypically it crisscrosses
boundaries between art education for children and the education of artists exploring
moments of conjunction between modernism, progressive education, avant-gardism
and alternative forms of pedagogy.
The impossibility of doing justice to a chronology of modern art education in a single
chapter is circumvented by instead responding to Brian O’Doherty’s invitation to
narrativize selective “tales” of modernism in an evocation of Aesop’s fables.
Modernism’s enduring parables of charismatic teachers, personal freedom, and radical
democracy may have come under scrutiny and been found wanting, but they also
remain remarkably persistent. As significant social values once attached to art
education continued to be erased the value of these parables as mnemonic antidotes
to twenty-first-century neoliberalism should not be underestimated.
