Example sentences for: macgregor

How can you use “macgregor” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Chief culprit in Darger's case is one John MacGregor, an art historian to whom Darger's former landlord, now his executor, has bequeathed semi-exclusive access to some of the Darger material, and who is thus the main disseminator of Darger criticism.

  • MacGregor's supporters said she had landed a blow for gender equality.

  • It's ironic, too, that critics such as MacGregor persist in seeing Darger as an unself-conscious obsessive, unable to separate his life from his created fantasy world, since in fact Darger's work is full of precisely the sort of self-referentiality that in a contemporary insider artist would be read as a rather ordinary example of postmodern detachment.

  • Despite the fact that virtually nothing is known about Darger's inner life, MacGregor (typically, for a critic of outsider art) writes confidently about how compulsive Darger was; how he couldn't control his urge to produce all that crazy stuff; how he couldn't distinguish between fantasy and reality; how he was a potential serial killer; how he got sexually excited writing descriptions of burning forests.

  • MacGregor careers from the vulgar Freudian to the idiosyncratically bizarre--for instance, "The trauma of [Darger's mother's] death was represented in his later life by an obsessional preoccupation with weather."
