Description

This anthology chronicles the distinctive voice of one of America's art critics throughout the last 25 years of the 20th century. Donald Kuspit's reflections on art, artists and art criticism are eclectic, exploring the ways in which art and its criticism influenced 20th-century thought and psychology, investigating the social impact of artwork, and analyzing how the work reflects the inner life of the artist. This collection of essays scrutinizes the aesthetic developments of last quarter of a century of the 20th century - from Abstract Expressionism to the latest permutation of Postmodernism; from Willem de Kooning to Andy Warhol to Sue Coe.
