Rosalind Krauss is; without visible rival; the most influential American art writer since Clement Greenberg. Together with her colleagues at ^IOctober^R; the journal she co-founded; she has played a key role in the introduction of French theory into the American art world. In the 1960s; though first a follower of Greenberg; she was inspired by her readings of French structuralist and post-structuralist materials; revolted against her mentors formalism; and developed a succession of radically original styles of art history writing. Offering a complete survey of her career and work; ^IRosalind Krauss and American Philosophical Art Criticism: From Formalism to Beyond Postmodernism^R comprises the first book-length study of its subject.Written in the lucid style of analytic philosophy; this accessible commentary offers a consideration of her arguments as well as discussions of alternative positions. Tracing Krausss development in this way provides the best method of understanding the changing styles of American art criticism from the 1960s through the present; and thus provides an invaluable source of historical and aesthetic knowledge for artists and art scholars alike.

I am looking forward to working with a bunch of the spells written this this book. especially ones that protect my home from negative energy and entities. the use of symbols. mirrors. witches salt. etc. Scott Cunningham has written many useful. well written books on a variety of topics. many of which I own and plan on purchasing. This book is a must for witches just starting out on their magickal path. You wont be disappointed.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Houses of GraceBy Janice VincentThis book is interesting for its look into the historical foundations of household magick. and really households in general--the underlying grace of owning a house and being able to do anything with it to make it yours. If youve lost a house. as many of us have. this book might or might not be a catalyst in recovering from that loss: be aware that this is a book about living in grace in a fine place of your own design and making--and the pure energy that comes with it.
