Writers on Artists

by Daniel Halpern

Book Overview

'Proust on Chardin, Sartre on Tintoretto, Huxley on El Greco, Hemingway on Miro--writers discussing painters hold the irresistible promise of insight beyond formal analysis, interpretation beyond conventional art history....The essays...form a strong history of art...a pointillist history of stories and apercus and ruminations.' --New York Times Book Review
