visits to Mexico, Dewey showed a particular

The experience of day to day living iscontinuous and does not alwayscome to a logical or completelyfulfilled conclusion. Thus a singlememorable experience is one thatcomes to a close, is consummated,

Many writers complain that
Dewey showed little interest inthe avant-garde art of his time.It is true that neither Cubism,
Dadaism nor Surrealism play arole in his writing. His theoryseems to actually preclude Non-
objective painting (Jacobson1960), although he does speakpositively of Abstract art.
