Still Looking: Essays on American Art,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
From a master of American letters and the author of the acclaimed Rabbit series comes a richly illustrated book of eighteen insightful essays about American art, written while he was the art critic at The New York Review of Books.Remarkably elegant little essays, dense in thought and perception but offhandedly casual in style. Their brevity makes more acute the sense of regret one feels to see them end. NewsdayWhen, in 1989, a collection of John Updikes writings on art appeared under the title Just Looking, a reviewer in the San Francisco Chronicle commented, He refreshes for us the sense of prose opportunity that makes art a sustaining subject to people who write about it. In the sixteen years since Just Looking was published, he continued to serve as an art critic, mostly for The New York Review of Books, and from fifty or so articles has selected, for this book, eighteen that deal with American art.After beginning with early American portraits, landscapes, and the transatlantic career of John Singleton Copley, Still Looking then considers the curious case of Martin Johnson Heade and extols two latenineteenthcentury masters, Winslow Homer and Thomas Eakins. Next, it discusses the eccentric premoderns James McNeill Whistler and Albert Pinkham Ryder, the competing American Impressionists and Realists in the early twentieth century, and such nowhistoric avantgarde figures as Alfred Stieglitz, Marsden Hartley, Arthur Dove, and Elie Nadelman. Two appreciations of Edward Hopper and appraisals of Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol round out the volume.America speaks through its artists. As Updike states in his introduction, The dots can be connected from Copley to Pollock: the same tense engagement with materials, the same demand for a morality of representation, can be discerned in both.
