Title: decide for yourself
Product review: "I don't listen to what art critics say. I don't know anybody who needs a critic to find out what art is." - Jean Michele BasquiatFor anyone who doesn't know, the profession of "art critic" is obsolete. That's why this book gets one star. I picked it up because I was made to believe it was an article of history, or fact if you will; instead what I got was someone trying to tell me what to believe about other people's work. I dictate my own feelings. Hughes' only way of making art is to criticize that of others, yet the very people he criticize, such as Arthur Rimbaud and Jean Basquiat will always have something Hughes will never comprehend, originality.
