2 Goya Hughes, Robert
Very Good. 
Hardcover. 1st edition hardcover with dustjacket 2003 Knopf. Price clipped from corner of jacket flap. Small archivally-repaired rip to jacket front near spine. Very clean; no marks; pages bright; binding tight. 429 pages; Index; Notes; Bibliography; color photos. NOTE: Large format-- cannot ship outside U.S. via Flat-Rate envelope; may require additional international postage. '[A] remarkably vital, delectably discursive, and deeply affecting study... Hughes brings 18th- and 19th-century Madrid to dynamic life and insightfully dissects every aspect of Goya's ever-evolving paintings and etchings, indelible works that grew steadily darker, more disturbing, and increasingly radical in their indictment of injustice and violence. Hughes' profound appreciation for Goya's genius and immense humanity will inspire readers to look to Goya's magnificent, shocking, and clarifying works as to a polestar as we grapple with the inhumanity of our times.'--Donna Seaman, starred Booklist review. Keywords: biography, painter, art, artist, history, Spanish, Spain, Los Caprichos, Disasters of War, Disparates. [code J]

3 Nothing If Not Critical: Selected Essays on Art and Artists Hughes, Robert
Good. 
Hardcover. 3rd printing hardcover with dustjacket 1991 Knopf. Light edgewear to jacket; spine slightly tilted. Clean and unmarked; pages bright; binding tight. 429 pages; Index. Language: English. 'This generous compendium of Hughes's (The Shock of the New) writings of the last decade offers an illuminating and incendiary look into art past and present. The author, art critic for Time, here spans four centuries of Western art --from Caravaggio to Picasso to Schnabel --and its reception and marketing by curators, dealers and collectors. Most essays take the form of brief reviews, yet each is crammed with enough historical fact and anecdote to delight connoisseurs and inform novices. Hughes's emphasis on social and political contexts and on artistic content balances the storehouse of provocative opinion he dispenses, which becomes increasingly caustic as he fixes his eye on the end of the 20th century. His analysis of today's bull art market is insightful, as is his critique of the theoretical frameworks that disguise much bad art, but the critic's disgust at contemporary art hype sometimes overwhelms him. The New York art world, he prophesies, is fast approaching apocalypse--and its shamelessly go-getting members should be sent back to art school to learn how to draw. When he is not blowing such conservative horns, Hughes provides multiple interesting ventures into the aesthetic and economic histories of Western visual culture.'--Publishers Weekly, 1990. Keywords: art history, criticism, 1980s, Eighties, '80s. [code J]
