About the Author
James Hall, a former art critic of the Guardian, was awarded the first Bernard Denvir Prize for an outstanding young critic.
Review
In this stimulating book...James Hall has set himself a heroic task in attempting to give a fresh interpretation of [Michelangelo]...[He] makes one think about the great man and his work anew, which is a considerable achievement. - Martin Gayford, Sunday Telegraph. A substantial and intriguing contribution to the study of Renaissance art at a crucial moment in its evolution...[Hall] has opened his subject up. Michelangelo the Modern Artist, Michelangelo torn between virtue and desire, is a new Michelangelo indeed. - William Packer, Financial Times. For each of his persuasive eight chapters, Hall takes one key idea from Michelangelo's work and suggests parallels or sources...[But] in making his Michelangelo in the image of the artist's own time, [he] still succeeds in reminding us of a very modern hero. - Margaret Reynolds, The Times"
