Reviews

“Like a modern-day bard, Dumbadze vividly recounts the life and times of a legendary artist whose work remains as enigmatic as it is influential. The book, organized around a series of episodic vignettes, captures Goldstein’s uncompromising and visionary practice and meticulously re-creates the larger intellectual and cultural milieu in which it took place.” -- Robert Slifkin, author of ""Quitting Your Day Job: Chauncey Hare’s Photographic Work"" “Jack Goldstein is one of those challenging artists that many of us know of, but few of us really know. Thanks to Dumbadze’s fine book, we get Goldstein’s troubled life served up with the verve of a page-turning biography, and his complex art revealed with the flair and acuity of the best art history.” -- Blake Gopnik, author of ""Warhol"" and ""The Maverick’s Museum"" “This book is a wonderful feast of turbocharged artistic longing, thoughts, cigarettes, and infinite sadness.” -- Ragnar Kjartansson, artist
