An introduction by Thomas Crow describes the peculiar circumstances under which these texts were written, and concise notes make it possible for non-specialist readers to keep their bearings in the vividly evoked world of late eighteenth-century Paris.
Review:
"There are two reasons for regarding Diderot's art criticism as important. It has come, especially recently, to enjoy a very high reputation among later art critics and historians; but further it contains some of his most original and amazing writing, rivaling 'le Neveu de Rameau' and 'Le Reve d'Alembert, and indeed having a close connection with them. it was time, therefore--more than time--for it to be offered in English translation, and it is fair to say that the job could hardly have been done better than in the present Yale edition....John Goodman is an absolutely first-class translator and his notes...are nicely judged.
P. N. Furbank, Times Literary Supplement, 11/10/1995
Review:"It is impossible to read the two volumes under review without being overcome by how much they have to offer us now. If we look for one word that sums up what is exemplary about Diderot's criticism, it is, perhaps paradoxically, its naturalness."
Richard Wolheim, New York Times Book Review, 12/07/1996

Diderot on Art: Salon of 1765 and Notes on Painting v. 1 (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780300062519) Diderot, Denis;Goodman, John Quantity Available: 10
Book Description: Yale University Press, United States, 1995. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 211 x 139 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery ***** Print on Demand *****. The 18th-century French philosopher Denis Diderot - the principal intelligence behind the "Encyclopedie" and the author of idiosyncratic fictional works such as "Jacques the Fatalist" and "Rameau's Nephew" - is also considered by many to have been the first great art critic. Until now, however, Diderot's treatises on the visual arts have been available only in French. This two-volume edition makes his art-critical texts available in English. Diderot's works are among the most provocative and engaging products of the French Enlightenment. Moreover, their ruminations on many issues of perennial interest (invention versus convention, nature versus culture, and technique versus imagination; the complex relations) between economic reality and artistic achievement give them a rare pertinence to current debates on the nature and function of representation. All the celebrated pieces included: the rhapsodic dream meditation inspired by Fragonard's "Coresus and Callierhoe"; the incident packed "excursion" through a set of landscapes by Joseph Vernet; the evocative consideration of the nature of ruins and historical nostalgia prompted by the first showing of works by Hubert Robert.These famous passages are considered in their proper context. The book also includes brief introductory texts and annotations by John Goodman that clarify the many references to contemporary Parisian culture, as well as an introduction by Thomas Crow that sets the texts in their historical and art-historical context.
