Outer edges might have tanning, browning, stains and foxing. Deckle edges. In this book Mrs. Kuh shares her love (and perits herself an occasional report on a lover's quarrel). She writes brilliantly and clearly, of places including Ireland, Russia, Mexico and Alaska, and of the people including Ivan Albright, Rembrandt, Delacroix, Andrew Wyeth and Clyfford Still, and talks fascinatingly, informatively, and sometimes controversially about the world of art and how it looks to her. Most of the essays in this book were originally published in The Saturday Review, but Mrs. Kuh has edited some of them, expanded some of them, and brought them together in a book that should delight , and even instruct, a host of readers.
