About the Author
Robert Hughes, art critic of Time magazine and twice winner of the American College Art Association's F.J. Mather Award for distinguished criticism, is the author of The Shock of the New and Heaven and Hell in Western Art. He is also the author of the acclaimed Nothing if Not Critical -- which William Boyd described as 'criticism at its most intelligent and impressive, trenchant, lucid, elegantly written' -- Barcelona and Culture of Complaint, essays on the fraying of America, described in the Observer as 'the most bracing of critical broadsides against new anti-intellectual tyrannies'. Robert Hughes died in August 2012.
Review
"Entertaining" -- Geoff Dyer * Mail on Sunday * "This is, as you'd expect, a hugely entertaining book" -- Martin Gayford * Sunday Telegraph * "Edgy and engrossing memoir" -- Waldemar Januszczak * Sunday Times * "Hughes...deftly intertwines personal and cultural history in this fiercely erudite memoir...it offers a fascinating examination of artistic patrimony and the formation of a critic" * New Yorker * "Bracingly candid... There isn't a phrase that doesn't reward immediate rereading" * New Statesman *
