Nothing If Not Critical: Selected Essays on Art and Artists

Incisive essays dissecting art and its context.

If art speaks to your soul or sparks your curiosity, "Nothing If Not Critical" could become your next favorite read. Robert Hughes' passionate and insightful criticism will guide you through the convoluted pathways of art history, giving you a perspective that's both knowledgeable and refreshingly blunt. Engage with his essays and allow yourself to be challenged and invigorated by his unapologetic opinions on the masterpieces and messes of the art world.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
