That's actually a really good idea. I taught one at, I think, most of the universities I've been at called Race Riots and Rodeos. And my Western mathematics is based on that course. But, you know, maybe I'll do it. That would be a great spring project, wouldn't it? Because I do these courses online. That might be fun.

I mean, the late 19th century is a great period, not just because of the politics and the economics, which everybody sort of has this gut sense of.

So when you get in 1913, when you get the Armory Show in New York, which is when people really start paying attention to changes in modern art, that comes from the 19th century. That's not like somebody says in 1912, hey, let's invent a whole new kind of art. That comes from all this incredible ferment of maybe we don't have to have representational art.
