Reviews

"As a stylist, in his descriptions of art and movements and books, Rosenberg has no equal... One is grateful for [this] essay collection. To my mind, his piece on art criticism and the distinction between it and art history is alone worth the price of the book" – Corinne Robins, New York Times Book Review
