review 1: Paglia manages to take an epic distance of time in art and sharpen it down to a wonderful selection rather like a set of finely picked trading cards, printed in wonderful full page gloss, with accompanying text living up to her trademark (if sensational) style to draw out a full emotional experience. The book is thoroughly non-pretentious about enjoyment of art- while I don't agree with her on many things her message about bringing art back in the living rooms of working class people- something that children would find and pick up (which her book aspires to be) is important.
review 2: I don't know much about art, so this was informative. Three takeaways (arts I learned I liked)1 - Tamara Lempicka - "has be criticized for artificiality and frigidity..but her pai... morenstaking application of layer after layer of pigment and glaze gives her pictures a glow of early Renaissance sacred panels and...her hallucinatory resynthesis of classic artworks."2 - Eleanor Antin (100 Boots) - "work has always been visceral, epathic, and dramatic. She wanted to restore narrative to contemporary art."3 - Walter De Maria - I knew of him but he's still a favorite. less
