Reviews

... handsomely produced ... An impressively researched book, this is also the first to provide an account of Reinhardt's entire career. Burlington magazine extremely readable and could have been a comfortable read over twice the length. Let us hope that when further exhibitions and studies of Reinhardt are undertaken, Michael Corris is invited to contribute. The furtherance of art history depends on scholars such as he being willing to get their hands dusty on our behalf. The Art Book Because of his background as a Conceptual artist, designer, and art historian, Michael Corris is wonderfully equipped to undertake a thoroughgoing art-historical survey of Reinhardt's work, and he does so with great sensitivity and thoughtful analysis, employing a wide-angle lens that takes into consideration Reinhardt's forays in the areas of popular and fine art as well as politics and culture. -- Robert Hobbs This book will make a major contribution to not only Reinhardt scholarship, but to the history of late modernist American art, from Abstract Expressionism to Conceptual Art. It should also be required reading in American studies of the 1930s and '40s.' -- Frances Colpitt
