	2 Hughes, Robert American Visions: The Epic History of Art in America New York Alfred A. Knopf; A Borzoi Book 1997 0375703659 / 9780375703652 First paperback edition Soft Cover Fine  ix, 635 pp., illus. (some col.); 26 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Stated "First Edition." OVERSIZE! No priority/air, except by special arrangement. Opionated art criticism, based on TV series. "Writing with all the brilliance, authority, and pungent wit that have distinguished his art criticism for Time magazine and his greatly acclaimed study of modern art, The Shock of the New, Robert Hughes now addresses his largest subject: the history of art in America. The intense relationship between the American people and their surroundings has been the source of a rich artistic tradition. American Visions is a consistently revealing demonstration of the many ways in which artists have expressed this pervasive connection. In nine eloquent chapters, which span the whole range of events, movements, and personalities of more than three centuries, Robert Hughes shows us the myriad associations between the unique society that is America and the art it has produced: ... 'The Age of Anxiety' considers recent events: the return of figurative art and the appearance of minimal and conceptual art; the speculative mania of the 1980s, which led to scandalous auction practices and inflated reputations; and the trends and issues of art in the 90s. Lavishly illustrated and packed with biographies, anecdotes, astute and stimulating critical commentary, and sharp social history, American Visions is published in association with a new eight-part PBS television series. / Robert Hughes was born in Australia in 1938. He has lived and worked in the United States since 1970. He has been art critic for TIME magazine for more than 25 years. His books include monographs on painters Lucien Freud and Frank Auerbach, a history of Australian art, Heaven and Hell in Western Art (1969), The Shock of the New (1981), The Fatal Shore (1987), a book of social criticism entitled The Culture of Complaint (1995), Barcelona (1992), and a collection of reviews, Nothing If Not Critical (1990). Hughes is the recipient of a number of awards and prizes for his work, most recently an Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters." - Publisher.  Price: 39.95 USD Add to Shopping Cart
	3 Hughes, Robert Barcelona New York Alfred A. Knopf; A Borzoi Book 1992 0394580273 / 9780394580272 Hard Cover Very Good Fine  Cloth, gilt, xi, 573 pp., illus., biblio., index; 25 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Spine slightly rolled at crown. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "Barcelona is Robert Hughes's monumentally informed and irresistibly opinionated guide to the most un-Spanish city in Spain. Hughes scrolls through Barcelona's often violent history; tells the stories of its kings, poets, magnates, and revolutionaries; and ushers readers through municipal landmarks that range from Antoni Gaudi's sublimely surreal cathedral to a postmodern restaurant with a glass-walled urinal. The result is a work filled with the attributes of Barcelona itself: proportion, humor, and seny -- the Catalan word for triumphant common sense." - Publisher.  Price: 19.95 USD Add to Shopping Cart

Tight, clean copy. Light edgewear to wraps, age toning. "A Passionate Look into the Ailing Heart of America" by the Australian-born art critic. This is one of the better critiques of 90s multiculturalism and pc, winning the grudging respect of academics like Henry L. Gates, Jr. Humourously written. "Acclaimed critic and bestselling author Robert Hughes has written a passionate book filled with barbed humor and devastating takes on American life. On the right, he fires sharp broadsides at Pat Buchanan, Pat Robertson, Jesse Helms, and Ronald Reagan. On the left, he skewers political correctness, academia's obsession with theory, and special-interest groups. Hughes also has pointed remarks to make about the art world, including the recent move toward political art and the Helms vs. Mapplethorpe controversy. But he is at his best when he targets American society, from its rotting infrastructures to its fascination with victimization therapies. Fired by a deep concern for America's future, Hughes uses his rapier wit to call-clearly and loudly-for the rebuilding of its values and ideas...before it's too late. / Robert Hughes, TIME magazine's long-standing art critic, is the bestselling author of nine books, including The Shock of the New, Barcelona, and The Fatal Shore, winner of the National Book Award. His most recent award, the international El Brusi prize for literature and communications, was given by the Olimpiada Cultural in Barcelona in 1992. He is the creator and narrator of the PBS-TV series American Visions." - Publisher.  Price: 4.95 USD Add to Shopping Cart
