Dalla seconda/terza di copertina

"To read Schjeldahl is not to agree or disagree, but rather to enter the enchanting flow of a fertile imagination."--Ken Johnson, Art in America "Ranging from Manet to minimalism, these partisan, passionate writings . . . function as a savvy handbook on the current art scene."--Publishers Weekly "Here's art criticism that demonstrates the power of art to evoke art, in the form of some of the most lusciously written responses to visual beauty ever to hit print. . . . During a decade that defined art mostly through commerce, Schjeldahl consistently reminded readers of its necessary soul."--Village Voice "A shrewd and fluent critic, [Schjeldahl] has a masterly personal voice, flamboyant, witty, lyrical yet often precise; more important, he has an openhearted attentiveness to the subjects of his criticism and the imaginative spaces around them."--Julian Bell, Times Literary Supplement "Schjeldahl is the finest journalistic art critic at work today."--Christopher Knight, Los Angeles Times
