Book Synopsis

In the domain of visual images, those of fine art form a tiny minority. This original and brilliant book calls upon art historians to look beyond their traditional subjects—painting, drawing, photography, and printmaking—to the vast array of "nonart"...



Trade Review

For whatever reason, some of the most daring, experimental writing in the field of art history is now coming out of Chicago.... Purely in terms of output, Elkins is phenomenal.... His work is about 'art history on the edge,' about aspects of art and design that defy categorization and that easily fall through the cracks.

* Ballast Quarterly Review *

James Elkins will deliver more pleasurable reflections per square image than you ever dreamed possible from an art historian.
