This review is from: Mary Heilmann: Save the Last Dance for Me (AFTERALL) (Paperback)
Myers manages to convey some heavy ideas in a lighthearted style. Being accessible and smart at the same time is no small accomplishment (especially in the field of art criticism!). Myers examines Heilmann's painting from many angles - through formal analysis, musical associations, biography, cultural context, etc. This multi-faceted approach gives the reader a variety of inroads to the feel of Heilmann's painting.
This book is fun to read because Myers attempts to float ideas rather then pin them onto the page. His approach doesn't just describe the work of Heilmann but also reflects its active qualities. No wonder that dancing, playing, and mirroring are some of the major thematic elements. If you're looking for an introduction to the work of Heilmann this book would be a great place to start. But it also offers a refreshing approach for the seasoned reader of painting critique.
