Writers on Artists by Daniel Halpern
By Daniel HalpernDaniel Halpern has gathered together essays by over forty distinguished writers who discuss artists, works, or genres of visual art that have profoundly inspired or disturbed them.

Here one finds Ford Madox Ford writing on Holbein, Sartre on Tintoretto, Genet on Rembrandt, Proust on Chardin, Elizabeth Bishop on Gregorio Valdes, Randall Jarrell on abstract expressionism, and many other stimulating combinations. Each selection is accompanied by a full-page reproduction of the artist's work.
