PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Vera Dika is Associate Professor at New Jersey City University.
In her path-breaking book, Vera Dika provides us with a comprehensive view of the Hallwalls generation, tracing their influences, origins, and theories, as well as engaging their accomplishments, with an astute critical and contextually sensitive eye, while also enriching her exposition with her own eyewitness testimony as someone who personally observed the exciting evolution of the Pictures Generation. --Noel Carroll, CUNY Graduate Center A tour de force. In The Pictures Generation at Hallwalls, Vera Dika has given us a richly textured, revisionist portrait of the final key art movement of the twentieth century, returning to Hallwalls and Buffalo as the center, not the margin, of the movement. Deeply researched, elegantly written, Dika's work will be an invaluable resource for artists, cultural historians, critics and students. --J.E. Smyth, University of Warwick
