Book Reviews of The Madame Realism Complex (Semiotext(e) / Native Agents)
Book Review: Madame Realism Complex is Great Art Criticism
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a little known classic in Tillman's work, a collection of her essays written from the point of view of the character "Madame Realism," often for Art in America magazine. Madame Realism is one of my favorites among Tillman's characters; she's a little bit like a wise grandmother who goes to art museums and comments about the work she sees there. There's more to these pieces than the seemingly funny views of a quirky observer, however, although even that would be enough. Tillman, who really knows her theory, makes many complex notions about art and its reception easily accessible in these very humorous pieces. I used one of the essays in a college course I teach on "writing for the arts" and the students really loved it.
