Reviews

... no self-respecting student of British art should be without this volume, and every library should own one. The Art Book This book is all pleasure, a heady mix of vitriol and insight, in roughly equal proportions, and the mixture seems to improve with age. The Art Book Anna Gruetzner Robins has done all readers a major service by arranging the texts in the order in which they were originally written.
