The Impact

This chapter examines the odyssey of the Seven Arts, led by its editor-in-chief, James Oppenheim, from naïve nationalism to radical dissent that ultimately led to its demise. It emphasizes the important role played in this project by verse texts and by “poetry” as a metaphor for national identity, as well as the far-reaching cultural impact of the New Verse movement. The Seven Arts's life can be divided into two halves: an initial phase of utopian cultural nationalism between November 1916 and March 1917, followed by a steadily intensifying oppositional phase between April and October. Defying conventional views of the modernist little magazine as a fugitive publication, the Seven Arts became an ideal destination for formally experimental American poetry owing to its amateur status. This chapter considers the impact of World War I on the Seven Arts and cites its demise as evidence of the limits and weaknesses of American free-speech traditions and the end of the utopian moment of early American modernism.

Arthur Dove (1880–1946) was a pioneer of abstraction and probably the first American to create purely non-representational paintings. His interest in natural forces, processes and forms inspired most of his work. His use of nature epitomizes a broad trend in early American modernist painting that includes many artists in the Alfred Stieglitz circle. Dove came from the Finger Lakes region of New York.

Bayesian Decision Making

AbstractThe target article uses a mathematical framework derived from Bayesian decision making to demonstrate suboptimal decision making but then attributes psychological reality to the framework components. Rahnev & Denison's (R&D) positive proposal thus risks ignoring plausible psychological theories that could implement complex perceptual decision making. We must be careful not to slide from success with an analytical tool to the reality of the tool components.
