Description and Table of Contents

Description

This dazzling volume comprises 69 essays by the eminent curator and critic David Sylvester, including important pieces on Picasso, Matisse, Bonnard, Mondrian, Johns, de Kooning, Warhol and Gilbert & George. His sustained investigations into the artists and their practice gives us piercing insights into the works and the artists themselves. This is not dry, remote, academic criticism- it has an immediacy and passion which leave one with an inspiring sense of the relevance and importance of art to life.
