From a review by Philippe de Montebello: "Roger Kimball's brilliant book sets out to repair the damage inflicted on art history by the likes of Derrida and Foucault; it is, in short, a restoration project, and a most cogent one.

"Kimball is brilliant. Hes succinct, articulate, and backs up his arguments with solid, honest intellectual criticism. He exposes all the "nouveau" historians for what they are, a bunch of self absorbed no nothings who love to hear themselves pontificate, and spew sophistry to no end."
"in the twentieth century, art became political. ideas of quality and beauty were abandoned. the only thing that mattered was if a piece furthered an agenda. as the ideologies became more pointless and illogical, art struggled to keep up.
this is bad enough, but now these new nihilistic ideas of art criticism are being applied retroactively as far back as the renaissance.
kimball collects some of these more... insane reviews.
as funny as it is, these people are the reason "fine artist" has become an insult."
"I found the author to be hypocritical. He makes some good points, but stretches it at times. About half of the book must have been verbal abusing (oftentimes unfairly brutal) of those he was trying to prove wrong. He trys to impress to much.
