This review is from: The Indignant Eye: The Artist as Social Critic in Prints and Drawings from the Fifteenth Century to Picasso (Hardcover)
No one who is interested in art that tries to get at the wrongs of the world should be with out this book. It is well designed and fully illustrated of the greats of socially critical art.Gilray and Cruickshank British artist that were among the most trenchant critics of English society are well represented. Daumier has a chapter unto himself.An exhibit at the Bloch gallery of Northwestern University ..WAR!! That has many of the Expressionist artists inside this book had me re-reviewing this wonderful book. Shikes is not just someone who writes from the view of the history of art as a specialized knowledge of prints of social art ...he is someone who believes in the mission of the artist as social critic.Lacking are the political art after 1970 to the present. Another book reviewing the artists of this persausion is badly needed.
