Between Sense and de Kooning Details
Review “This revealingly rich interface between de Kooning’s thought, method, and art provides an erudite, timeless discussion.” (Choice)“Richard Shiff’s Between Sense and De Kooning is a tour de force. But of what precisely? It's a category of art writing for which there is no genre, like De Kooning famously said of Duchamp, he's a movement of one! This is not a survey or a biography but an extraordinarily deep conversation with the reader about what De Kooning painted and what he said about it. It is an absolutely unique and wonderful book.” (Jonathan Fineberg, author of Art Since 1940: Strategies of Being) Read more About the Author Richard Shiff is professor of art history at the University of Texas at Austin. His other books include Cézanne and the End of Impressionism: A Study of the Theory, Technique, and Critical Evaluation of Modern Art and Doubt. Read more
