The Painted Word
Author: Tom Wolfe
In this collection of satiric essays, Tom Wolfe slings mud at the masters of the 1990s avante-garde scene. He burlesques famous critiques of various works and deems renowned art theorists, such as Harold Rosenberg and Leo Steinberg, to be charlatans who are more influential than the artists themselves.

Tom Wolfe's 1970's view of 'modern art'. True art aficionados may take exception but still an interesting, easy read for the art-illiterate.

I have been interested and studying art history for many years and this is by far the most amusing and perceptive book on modern art that I have read. Don't miss it!
