The Eclipse of Art by Julian Spalding
An exploration of the modern public's alienation from contemporary art, by outspoken critic Julian Spalding. Spalding examines the key ideas underpinning modern art and finds them wanting. He makes a powerful plea for the revival of communication, accessibility and traditional skills in art.
JULIAN SPALDING'S books include The Poetic Museum, The Eclipse of Art, The Art of Wonder (winner of the Sir Banister Fletcher Prize) and The Best Art You've Never Seen. He was formerly Director of Art Galleries in Sheffield, Manchester and Glasgow (including the Burrell Collection and Kelvingrove) and established The Ruskin Gallery, The St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art, Glasgow's Gallery of Modern Art, the Open Museum and, as Master of Ruskin's Guild of St George, the Campaign for Drawing.
