5.0 out of 5 stars
"The" publication on Hodgkin to own., July 5, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Howard Hodgkin Paintings (Hardcover)
This well illustrated and multifaceted book is an important addition to any library. If only for Marla Price's catalogue raisonne a very valuble addition not in other publications about this important artist. I found the exchange of letters from Hodgkin to John Elderfield insightfull and full of the sort of detail on techniques hard to find elsewhere.
Michael Auping has written a compassionate opening essay on this sensitive man and the development of his work.
Susan Sontag writes about Hodgkin and art after modernism,with a wry and wonderfull humour.
All of these writings are punctuated with marvellous colour plates.
This book is a must.

Great Art!, March 20, 2000
This review is from: Howard Hodgkin Paintings (Hardcover)
Running across a Howard Hodgkin exhibition forever revolutionized my formerly negative view of modern art. It has opened my soul to new areas of art enjoyment not experienced previously. This book has many plates of his work and provides very interesting reading. Let his beautiful art and colors wash over you... Enjoy!
