Book Reviews of Salon to Biennial: Volume 1
Book Review: Exhibit "A"
Summary: 5 Stars
Any student of Western art would not only benefit from, but also enjoy the historical thread provided by this weighty book's coverage of a selection of special exhibitions held between 1863 and 1959. (And, people who may find themselves responsible for future art exhibitions at museums will find this an essential text.)
The art works and artists included in each exhibit, its physical layout, and, importantly, contemporary critical reviews are all provided.
On a higher level, this book serves to reaffirm the importance of expressive freedom--both to create and criticize--as a bedrock marker for a healthy society. The chapter on the 1937 Degenerate Art show by the Nazi government of Germany provides a jarring reminder of this point.
