"The Painted Word charts the erratic course of the social history of Modern Art from it beginnings in revolution - a revolution against literary content in art - to its present state, in which it has become, quite unconsciously, a parody of itself, obsessedly devoted to the pronouncements of certain guru-critics, to the point of reductio ad absurdum, to the point where - turnabout being fair play - it has become as literary, as academic, as mannered, as clubby, as the salon painting agwinst which it first rebelled." - Publisher.. 1st.

Farrar Strauss Giroux New York, 1998 Scarce in the UK, this is the American first edition. It is conservatively rated as Very Good, because there is a very slight sunning along the top of the cloth binding and the jacket has some creasing to the flaps.The price is intact. There is an attractive blind stamp on the half title. These are all slight faults. A superb and clever attack on modern art absurdities and excesses.
