The majority of this book, besides the introduction and the last few essays, consists of reviews of art shows that Hughes published in times magazine in the early-to-mid 80s. His style of criticism is perfect - it finds that wonderful balance of historical context, biographical information, and (the part that so many critics miss) astute observations in front of the work itself. One of the main themes of his writing is that great art is built on history, rather than (in the prevailing myth of modernism) trying to tear it down. Not surprisingly, this leads to a pessimism on the future of art - combine the decline of art education, an ahistorical attitude on the part of many artists, and the absurd consumerism of the 80s art market (eerily similar to what's happening in Chelsea today), and even the most talented artists are at a disadvantage. It's interesting to compare this book to the equally fantastic Unnatural Wonders, but Arthur C. Danto. While Danto agrees with Hughes assessment of the end of art history - he sees this as an important development. Unconstrained from the "weight" of history, a new pluralism has swept into the art world - and artists have an unprecedented level of freedom. Personally, I tend towards Hughes outlook - without a framework (and only the most disciplined artists can impose their own framework without history), artistic freedom tends to degenerate into chaos. But it's hard not to appreciate Danto's optimism. Whatever your opinions on the future of art, Robert Hughes provides an important lesson on how to look at and think about art. Having just finished his book, I feel like I need to spend hours, if not days, in the Met - looking at all the older art I tend to walk by, and think about where my own work has come from and where it's going.
