Leading art critic explores the connections between arts past and presentContemporary art sometimes pretends to have made a clean break with history. In The Perpetual Guest, poet and critic Barry Schwabsky demonstrates that any robust understanding of arts present must also account for the ongoing life and changing fortunes of its past.Surveying the art world of recent decades, Schwabsky attends not only to its most significant newer facesamong them, Kara Walker, Thomas Hirschhorn, Ai Weiwei, Chris Ofili, and Lorna Simpsonbut their forebears as well, both near (Jeff Wall, Nancy Spero, Dan Graham, Cindy Sherman) and more distant (Velzquez, Manet, Matisse, and the portraitists of the Renaissance).Schwabskys rich and subtle contributions illuminate arts present moment in all its complexity: shot through with determinations produced by centuries of interwoven traditions, but no less openended for it.
