Reviews

''Hadler treats objects of popular culture without condescension, giving them the same thoughtful visual analysis, informed by a deep understanding of history, with which she presents avant-garde art. And she provides a model for interpreting iconoclasm that will be relevant both to art historians in her own field and far beyond it. I'm very grateful for this book.''</p>--Rachel Kousser, Professor of Greek and Roman Art and Archaeology, City University of New York, Graduate Center (03/03/2017)
