Art Objects: Essays on Ecstasy and Effrontery

In ten interlocking essays, the acclaimed author of Written on the Body and Art & Lies reveals art as an active force in the world–neither elitist nor remote, available to those who want it and affecting those who don’t. Original, personal, and provocative, these essays are not so much a point of view as they are a way of life, revealing “a brilliant and deeply feeling artist at work” (San Francisco Chronicle).
