Description:

In an interview conducted late in the great art historian's life, Meyer Schapiro was asked if, looking back, he had any regrets. "The failure of socialism" was his startling reply. Every chapter of his extensive analysis of the most beloved movement in Western art breathes Schapiro's unique perspective. Comparing a Monet picnic with one painted by Watteau, he casually notes the "air of make-believe and the erotic intimations" of the latter, and the reproduction of the Watteau begins to simmer. Although Schapiro's style, often called "accessible," now seems elegantly old-fashioned, it's still a joy--a privilege--to read his words.
