Art Since 1960
by Michael Archer
This exciting new survey looks at the diversity of artwork produced since the early sixties. As the author ably demonstrates, events, social issues, feminism, and Postmodernism form not only a backdrop to the art but also a stimulus and resource for its form and content. Intelligently argued and profusely illustrated, here is everything one might wish to know about developments in art over the past 35 years. 170 illus. 45 in color.

Real Spaces

Use and Abuse of Art
by Jacques Barzun
"When an extremely intellectual, extremely experienced, extremely wise man shares his thoughts with others, the result seizes the imagination at once. Such is the effect of these essays, a series given as lectures at the National Gallery in 1973. Mr. Barzun examines art as religion, as destroyer, as redeemer, and in relation to what he calls "its temper, science", but never forgets the basic essential. As he says, "the last word on art should indeed be: mystery. But that need not stop any of us from dealing with it as if we understood more than we can". And how good it is to have one's mind stretched to that understanding of "more.""--Virginia Quarterly Review
