This much-feted book from Robert Hughes, one of our greatest living art historians, makes a welcome appearance in paperback. A selection of his most important articles, it includes his accounts of the particular skills and vision of some 80 artists - from old masters such as Holbein, Caravaggio, van Dyck and Reynolds to contemporary painters such as Lichtenstein, Bacon, Kitaj and Hockney. Hughes looks too at some of the vexed questions confronting art today. Lawrence Gowing has said that Robert Hughes is 'illuminating and compelling on whatever subject he touches'; this book offers much evidence to support that plaudit. (Kirkus UK)
