Hughes ReduxBy RCHEVI originally read this book when it first came out and--for obscure reasons--decided to re-read it recently. More than 30 years later; you cannot avoid the thought that Hughes has by far the best staying-power...not to mention a depth of intellect; knowledge; understanding-- of any of the critics of that era. Or any other. He had the mental chops not to be intimidated by arts pretensions and intimidations--a perfect anti-snob; as only an Australian can be. He is deeply missed.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A critic talks to you; not above youBy Joseph PokaYou may disagree with Hughes (I bristled at his dismissal of Chagall as "kitschy") but you wont be bored. In fact; his comments are brief; just a couple of pages; but offer novel insights. Example: His essay on Gaugains search for the primitive-- ie: his transplant to Tahiti; in fact had its roots much earlier in his career during his years in Brittany. He is persuasive in tracing this particular connection.In addition; he does not spoon-feed the information; he demands some background knowledge; but then makes incisive comments that reward the effort of grasping his points.After stumbling on to the book in the library; I decided to buy it. A definite keeper.
