Hope for art
Is contemporary art dead? Amidst the onslaught of all the -isms and in a life-world in which art and life seem so removed: is art dead today? Crow doesn't think so and he offers a selection of observations of specific artistic practices that illuminate the vitality of art in our culture today: yes, it still speaks and it still responds. There is still hope. There is a great reading of Warhol's ...

Decidedly helpful, after digestion
After a long while of chewing on Crow's hundreds of proper names and knot of labyrinthine politics, I can now reflect upon the text with 20/20 hindsight and testify to its utility. Though I certainly didn't find it an easy read, or even a particularly enthralling one, Crow did lay the foundation now supporting my knowledge of French painting. The professor I had who required this book (and ...

A Timely Contribution
This book is a fine addition to the limited body of work in English on the events of France in May/June of 1968. As we approach the 40th anniversary of those events it is important to have an eye witness to history like Serge Hambourg who can provide a photographic account of events as they occurred. As is mentioned in the introduction, many of the photos here are appearing for the first time, ...

A detailed study of the turbulent art scene during the 60's
This book describes in detail the many varied paths that visual artists explored during the 60's, a time of great political, cultural, and artistic ferment. The subtitle of the book, "American and European Art in the Era of Dissent," reflects Crow's observation that the experimental art of the period reflected 60's political dissent. He notes that 60's art, setting itself up as an alternative ...

`I have lost my emulation'
So were the words of master painter Jacques-Louis David at the untimely death by smallpox at age 24 of his finest pupil Jean-Germain Drouais: the mutual impact these two painters from the Revolutionary period of France in the mid 1780s was one so palpable that it permeates this magnificent volume by gifted writer Thomas Crow. The original edition of this book was from the year 1995, but this ...

A beautiful book
Everything from the cover (with it's cut spine) to the interior layout and photographs are exquisite and give a nice feel for matta-clark's work. It is a nice complement to Pamela Lee's 'Object to be Destroyed'. The essays were insigtful, well written and provided a good overall personal and social context for his work.
La inteligencia del arte (Arte Universal)
Thomas Crow
Fondo de Cultura Economica
, 2008
En este libro el autor sostiene que el genio de quien interpreta una obra de arte radica en reconocer cómo cada obra establece su propio método de análisis; basado en esa premisa analiza tres de las más importantes obras que hay en la literatura sobre la historia del arte: la investigación sobre la portada de la iglesia de Santa María de Souillac, Francia, de Meyer Shapiro; el análisis de las máscaras de los nativos americanos, de ...

Beyond Brilliant
Beyond Brilliant. The Rothko Book: Tate Essential Artist Series is the most succinct exploration of the soul and embodiment of a true artist. Nothing I studied getting my MFA gave me the same profundity of an artist's journey into the creation of a new visual language. The struggles, investigations, successes and failures of the thought process as well as the physical prowess it takes to ...

The Intelligence of Art (Bettie Allison Rand Lectures in Art History)
Thomas Crow
The University of North Carolina Press
, 2000
With this book, Thomas Crow contributes a refreshing analysis of the present state of art history, the practice of interpreting art and making it "intelligible." He aims to relocate the discussion of theory and method in art history away from models borrowed from other disciplines by presenting what he considers three of the most successful and challenging works in the literature of art history: Meyer Schapiro on the Romanesque portal sculpture ...

The MIT Press
, 1986
Preface by David A. Ross Endgame provides the first comprehensive discussion of two interrelated groups of artists who have recently emerged amidst brisk critical debate and who all, in various ways, represent a critique of the commodity, or the commodification of art objects. These are the painters Ross Bleckner, Peter Halley, Sherrie Levine, and Philip Taaffe, who have ironically adopted the visual strategies of earlier modern ...
