Review # 1 was written on 2013-07-08 00:00:00 John Walker Jarrell's broad ban "Against Abstract Expressionism" & O'Hara's counterpoint/case study "Jackson Pollock" were the highlights (for me). Baudelaire on Delacroix is the unfair precedent by which these essays must be judged, however... Even so, there's ton's of smart goosh up in this compilay that'll probably facilitate more ink being spilled by both camps in the future.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-04-30 00:00:00 Michael Uhlman I'll be teaching artists next year --has anyone used this book in the classroom? Are there any other texts you recommend for the plastic-arts minded stuck in a writing class?
