Bruce Barber (artist, writer, curator currently teaching at NSCAD in Halifax) illustrates a version of this history below with his "detournement" (subversive update) from original map by Alfred H.Barr printed on the jacket (orig. edition) of Barr's classic text "Cubism and Abstract Art", MOMA 1936.
