Review # 1 was written on 2020-04-18 00:00:00 Finkador Fineas Beautiful prints from a special exhibit. Having seen some of the originals in museums it was a thrill to see his artistic progression. As an American who lived in giverney for awhile , he had the opportunity to be influenced by monet? Troubling times he lived throug&, wwi. Difficult to know how he did financially but he had representation and shipped his paintings to the us for shows. He was given many honors on both sides of the ocean.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-01-08 00:00:00 Vaughn Brooks I suspect Rosenberg is not as well remembered as his frenemy Clement Greenberg because he didn't make big theoretical statements. But that's what makes reading him now such a joy (as opposed to reading Greenberg) - his beautifully written essays are based on observation and thought, not on sweeping generalizations and ideology. There is the occasional misstep, like his belief that the complaints of minorities and feminists were misguided, but those are very rare, and every essay and review in this collection has some brilliance to impart.
