Leonardo's Nephew Essays on Art and Artists

"Mr. Fenton, whose name has been tossed about as a candidate for England's vacant poet laureateship, approaches his subjects in a broad, worldly style that incorporates scores of disciplines and cultural influences....That's not to say that this is art criticism. It isn't. Instead, it eschews theory, favoring a journalistic and, at moments, poetic tone, arriving at themes or conclusions via unexpected insights, facts and comparisons. Along the way, Mr. Fenton shows that literature, politics, psychology, science and, yes, art can all affect the manner in which works of art are made and perceived."Fenton, James is the author of 'Leonardo's Nephew Essays on Art and Artists' with ISBN 9780226241470 and ISBN 0226241475.
