Art''s Prospect - The Challenge of Tradition in an Age of Celebrity

Informationen zum Autor By Roger Kimball Klappentext Most of the really invigorating action in the art world today is a quiet affair, Mr. Kimball observes. It usually involves not the latest thing but permanent things they can be new or old, but their relevance is measured not by the buzz they create but by the silences they inspire. With reviews and essays composed over the last twenty years and revised for this book, Art's Prospect illuminates some of the chief spiritual itineraries of modern art. "There is much to be learned and enjoyed in these stimulating, provocative, and elegant essays." Paul Johnson. With reviews and essays composed over the last 20 years and revised for this book, "Art's Prospects" illuminates some of the chief spiritual itineraries of modern art, and argues that the traditional is the enemy, rather than a springboard to originality.
