I really don't know how to write it. Art history is good at showing you how one artist influenced another but not so much about the actual history of the time. And The Collected Letters of Gustave Courbet is out of print and $130 on Amazon. I'll start paying attention to 19th century French history as I browse the web and keep an eye out for the name Pierre-Joseph Poonhound.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I almost kinda feel like a masters in art history wouldn't be the equivalent of burning tens of thousands of dollars

(His name is Proudhon but I prefer my spelling.)
