Arnold Hauser
'Arnold Hauser's Social History of Art - a very important and
under-appreciated text.' - Whitney Davis, John Evans Professor of
Art History, Northwestern University
'It is no exaggeration to say that more than any other work
Hauser's four volumes inspired my interest in art history.' - Alan
Wallach, Ralph H Wark Professor of Art History, College of William
and Mary
'This work has great value in a contemporary context. I look
forward to seeing what Jonathan has done with the introduction, but
I cannot think of anyone better suited to the task.' - Johanna
Drucker, Professor of Art History, Yale University
Hauser's extraordinary energy and subtlety wave a brilliant
synthesis of the interaction between the aesthetic and societal,
giving us at one and the same time a wealth of artistic detail and
a consistent and fully elaborated exposition of the social process.
- Albert Boime, UCLA, author of The Social History of Modern Art,
1750-1989
