Strauss is an art critic of exceptional originality and depth. I can think of none in this field I would rank ahead of him in terms of his knowledge, his seriousness, his adventure, and the power of his writing. Arthur Danto
<br> Strauss is an art critic of exceptional originality and depth. I can think of none in this field I would rank ahead of him in terms of his knowledge, his seriousness, his adventure, and the power of his writing. --Arthur Danto <br><p><br> This is a good book. It is literate, thoughtful, kind, lucid, and meticulous, which is high praise in the Grub Street of contemporary art journalism. It embodies a chastening respect for the artist and the works that is not much in evidence these days. In a serious, somewhat smaller art world, Strauss's book would set the standard for criticism. --Dave Hickey, author of The Invisible Dragon<p><br> David Levi Strauss brings an intellectual poise and gentle regard for fact to write of what is truly urgent in the art and literature he admires. Having found his bearings by attentive looking or reading, he retrieves for us that 'certain sensation' felt in the moment, found here in model instances of translucent prose. --Bill Berkson, Portrait and Drea
