Welcome to After the Art’s tenth issue.
We hope you enjoy these three essays:
“Semiotics of the Schoolroom” by Jenny Wu
“The Imaginary Battle of the Argonne” by Kimmo Rosenthal
“Golden Lies” by Aaron Hicks
We’ve also started a Facebook page, which you can follow for posts about future issues as well as exhibits, articles, books, essays, and sites that might be of interest.
After the Art publishes personal review essays that explore the ways reading and art enrich each other.

We’d love to hear how looking at art (online) and reading (at home) can enrich each other even (especially?) during this time of physical distancing.
