Hughes' opinionated and politically charged biography of modern art and its dialogue with a culture in turmoil is always on the side of the radical against the status quo. He is harshly critical of the academy and establishment, and of regressive regimes, movements and critiques. He hates oppression...
Incredibly well-written, though not my personal favorite. To tell the truth, I'm not a big fan of modern art, but this book manages to pique my little interest.
