Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Leading art critic explores the connections between artâs past and present
Contemporary art sometimes pretends to have made a clean break with history. In The Perpetual Guest, poet and critic Barry Schwabsky demonstrates that any robust understanding of artâs present must also account for the ongoing life and changing fortunes of its past.
Surveying the art world of recent decades, Schwabsky attends not only to its most significant newer facesâamong them, Kara Walker, Thomas Hirschhorn, Ai Weiwei, Chris Ofili, and Lorna Simpsonâbut their forebears as well, both near (Jeff Wall, Nancy Spero, Dan Graham, Cindy Sherman) and more distant (Velázquez, Manet, Matisse, and the portraitists of the Renaissance).
Schwabskyâs rich and subtle contributions illuminate artâs present moment in all its complexity: shot through with determinations produced by centuries of interwoven traditions, but no less open-ended for it.
From the Trade Paperback edition.
