| Summary |
Leo Steinberg's classic Other Criteria comprises eighteen essays on topics ranging from Contemporary Art and the Plight of Its Public and the flat-bed picture plane to reflections on Picasso, Rauschenberg, Rodin, de Kooning, Pollock, Guston, and Jasper Johns. The last, which Francine du Ples-six Gray called a tour de force of criti-method, is widely regarded as the most eye-opening analysis of Johns's work ever written. This edition includes a new preface and a handful of additional illustrations |
