Krátky popis
From the Pulitzer Prize winner and bestselling author of How to Be
an Artist:&,nbsp,a deliciously readable survey of the art world
in turbulent timesJerry Saltz is one of our most-watched writers
about art and artists, and a passionate champion of the importance
of art in our shared cultural life. Since the 1990s he has been an
indispensable cultural voice: witty and provocative, he has
attracted contemporary readers to fine art as few critics have. An
early champion of forgotten and overlooked women artists, he has
also celebrated the pioneering work of African American, LGBTQ+,
and other long-marginalized creators. Sotheby's Institute of Art
has called him, simply,&,nbsp,“the art
critic.”&,nbsp,&,nbsp,Now, in Art Is Life, Jerry Saltz
draws on two decades of work to offer a real-time survey of
contemporary art as a barometer of our times. Chronicling a period
punctuated by dramatic turning points—from the cultural reset of
9/11 to the rolling social crises of today—Saltz traces how
visionary artists have both documented and challenged the culture.
Art Is Life offers&,nbsp,Saltz’s eye-opening appraisals of
trailblazers like Kara Walker, David Wojnarowicz, Hilma af Klint,
and Jasper Johns, provocateurs like Jeff Koons, Richard Prince, and
Marina Abramović, and visionaries like Jackson Pollock, Bill
Traylor, and Willem de Kooning. Saltz celebrates landmarks like the
Obama portraits by Kehinde Wiley and Amy Sherald, writes
searchingly about disturbing moments such as the Ankara gallery
assassination, and offers surprising takes on figures from Thomas
Kinkade to Kim Kardashian. And he shares stories of his own haunted
childhood, his time as a “failed artist,” and his epiphanies upon
beholding work by Botticelli, Delacroix, and the cave painters of
Niaux.&,nbsp,&,nbsp,With his signature blend of candor and
conviction, Jerry Saltz argues in Art Is Life for the importance of
the fearless artist—reminding us that art is a kind of channeled
voice of human experience, a necessary window onto our times. The
result is an openhearted and irresistibly readable appraisal by one
of our most important cultural observers.
