Recensione:

"The most important contribution of Fineberg's book. . . is the way he weaves together evidence of modern artists collecting children's art, remarking upon it, using it in their work, and, in some cases, physically integrating it into their own. . . . This is all new material, and very important to our still developing sense of the role non-traditional art forms played in the working of modern art."--James Cuno, Harvard Magazine

"Fineberg taps a vein ripe for critical inquiry. The Innocent Eye approaches, with systematic rigor, an important subject that deserves further study; it will intrigue any student of modernist art."--Daniel Sogg, Art & Antiques

"In his fascinating, heavily illustrated study Fineberg shows how children's paintings inspired the works of many artists, such as Picasso, Miro, Dubuffet and Klee. . . . It's a convincing argument, but Fineberg also does a fine job of looking at larger issues such as how the postwar mainstreaming of psychoanalytic theory provided later artists with a handle on the feelings of childhood that went beyond the previous 'meticulous visual analysis of child art.'"--Publisher's Weekly

"As an anthology of superb child art, reproduced at the same scale and quality of colour as the `great works on modern art' that stand alongside them, The Innocent Eye is unsurpassed. In each specific case, the child's work is shown convincingly to be the source of the adult's. Both are honoured equally."--Timothy Hyman, Times Literary Supplement

"The old modern art saw, `My child could have done that,' is addressed head-on in this engaging study."--Library Journal

"An illuminating and at times revelatory new book."--Richard Cork, The Times (London)
