Reviews

'... an interesting account of a life of professional and social success, based on family and institutional archives.' The Art Newspaper 'What particularly impresses about the study is how it came to be written... he came across Reid Dick and simply wanted to know more. In other words, sheer curiosity and enthusiasm. Would that many other art historians could show as much delight in finding out more about a neglected body of art work, and reasoning through the how and why of an artist's life and reputation.' Cassone
