The art book of the year, if not of the decade and possibly of the century... The significance of this volume lies not so much in the quality of its insights - although the quality is very high and the insights are important - as in the richness, precision, and elegance of its style.... A meeting with the mind of Leo Steinberg is one of the most enlightening experiences that contemporary criticism affords. - Alfred Frankenstein, Art News Not only one of the most lucid and independent minds among art critics, but a profound one. - Robert Motherwell These essays are... part of the reality of contemporary art, and the book is a cultural event in its own right... a force in the spirit of our times. - Arthur C. Danto, Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism
