Trade Review"Quoting Caravaggio "Stimulating and intelligently written.... [Quoting Caravaggio] is very interesting to read, and is a useful additional example of contemporary artists' and critics' identification with the Baroque as a world of sensuality in pre-Enlightenment modernity." - Art Book Louise Bourgeois' "Spider" "Bal is exceptionally skilled at close reading, and the subjects she chooses to take on are commensurate in complexity to that skill." - Common Knowledge"
