I am here to educate and my videos are presented ad free. My series "Monday Morning Modernism" consists of a set of 15 videos — each roughly 40 minutes long — that introduce the history of modern art and some of its key artists and movements. I have also posted videos on San Francisco Bay Area art and artists. My writing has appeared in Art Ltd., The HuffingtonPost, Hyperallergic, Arts of Asia, and other fine publications. My book Disrupted Realism: Paintings for a Distracted World features the works of 38 contemporary artists who add subjectivity and disruption to their imagery. A sequel, More Disruption: Representation in Flux was released in mid 2023. - John Seed
