Product Information
Modern life is a sea of images. With so much visual data bombarding us--from personal devices to mass media--our brains must rapidly adapt to make sense of it all. Here to guide us is America's premier intellectual provocateur, Camille Paglia. In these pages, Paglia returns to the subject that made her famous, situating our current visual environment within the epic scope of all of art history. With trademark audacity, Paglia tours through more than two dozen seminal paintings, sculptures, architectural styles, performance pieces, and digital art works that have transformed our world. Combining close analysis with historical context, she trains our eye to each image--from an Egyptian tomb to Jackson Pollock's abstract Green Silver to Renée Cox's daring performance piece Chillin' with Liberty . And in her stunning conclusion, she declares the avant-garde tradition dead and film director George Lucas the world's greatest living artist. Written with energy, erudition, and wit, Glittering Images will profoundly change the way we see.

Reviews
"The ever-provocative Paglia returns with a survey of Western art, captured in 24 essays that move from Egyptian tombs to Titian's Venus with a Mirror to Eleanor Antin's conceptual art project 100 Boots . The provocative part? In the end, she proclaims that the avant-garde is dead and that George Lucas is our greatest living artist. This will get the smart folks talking." -Library Journal "[A] highly reflective and imaginative history of images in Western art. . . . Paglia writes with energetic lucidity , and her entries on the Laocoön and Donatello's Mary Magdalene are standouts in this absorbing volume. Both a valuable cultural critique and an elucidating history, Paglia's latest would suit the general reader, as well as those looking for an alternative approach to contemporary ways of seeing ." - Publishers Weekly "Critic/provocateur Paglia applies to the visual arts the same close scrutiny she lavished on poetry in Break, Blow, Burn (2005). . . . An intelligently detailed examination of 29 works of art , ranging from a tomb painting of Egyptian Queen Nefertari to George Lucas' film Revenge of the Sith. . . . The author cogently locates individual pieces within a cultural continuum and eloquently spotlights the artistic qualities that make them unique. . . . Paglia gives a vivid sense of the sweep and scope of art history. The author loves pop art (Warhol's Marilyn Diptych ), but sections on Eleanor Antin's 100 Boots and Walter De Maria's Lightning Field display a surprising fondness for conceptualism and minimalism as well. African-American artists get their due in essays on John Wesley Hardrick's sensitive portrait, Xenia Goodloe , and Renee Cox's witty Chillin' with Liberty . . . . Paglia is a wonderful popularizer of art history and art appreciation ." - Kirkus Reviews "Paglia, an ardent and often controversial defender of the arts and creative freedom, argued for the value of poetry in Break, Blow, Burn (2005). She now presents an equally commanding case for reclaiming the visual arts as a necessary and nurturing cultural force in a time of alarmingly diminished support for arts education . Given our 'screen' habit, we are awash in a 'sea of images,' mostly commercial in origin, that threatens to drown our ability to focus and think critically. The best way to regain our visual acuity, Paglia believes, is to focus on paintings, sculpture, and the decorative arts within art's rich continuum. So this interdisciplinary firebrand and die-hard populist showcases 29 outstanding works, each representative of a certain style or period, beginning with a tomb painting of Queen Nefertari and working up to Andy Warhol's portraits of Marilyn Monroe. Paglia's succinct, lively, and illuminating essays combine aesthetics and social considerations ad she recalibrates our perception of, say, Renaissance artist Donatello's 'harsh and imposing' depiction of Mary Magdalene, or Jamaican performance artist Renee Cox's Chillin' with Liberty . The book's climax is Paglia's bound-to-be-inflammatory assertion that filmmaker George Lucas is 'the world's greatest artist.' Paglia's bold and rigorous, handsomely illustrated and welcoming art iconography will accomplish her mission to provoke, enlighten, and inspire. ." - Booklist , starred review, "A magisterial, poetically composed, and masterly study of 29 great works of Western art. . . . Paglia writes rhapsodically of art''s power . . . [she is] one of the most erudite public intellectuals in America." - The Philadelphia Inquirer "The ever-provocative Paglia returns with a survey of Western art, captured in 24 essays that move from Egyptian tombs to Titian's Venus with a Mirror to Eleanor Antin's conceptual art project 100 Boots .

[She is] a critic determined to teach the redemptive possibilities of patient, informed observation." -The Wall Street Journal "Riveting. . . . Revelatory. . . . Subtle, penetrating and sometimes funny." - The Globe and Mail (Toronto) "[Paglia is] an art-for-art's-sake worshiper of art and literature whose close readings, influenced by Walter Pater and Sigmund Freud, are pyrotechnic and passionate." - San Francisco Chronicle "Dazzling. . . . Compulsively readable. . . . Paglia at her best. . . . The lean precision of the book is a marvel. . . . Her choices range from the classic and expected to the obscure and the startling. . . . Even her explorations of the more familiar works will have you marveling anew." - Salon "Paglia [is] an intellectual sensation. . . . Here we find Paglia's bewitching eye, matched with her gift for language, at its best." - City Journal "Artists, questing outsiders, are still with us, still finding their way, making their way. Perhaps some of them will be inspired by the glittering images Camille Paglia offers here." - Los Angeles Times "An essential work by an essential public intellectual." - Vice "Paglia is a lively, bracingly outspoken writer able to draw on her knowledge of both fine arts and popular culture." - National Post "A fascinating, uncommonly accessible look at the history of images in Western art. . . . [Paglia is] an incisive cultural critic, a dedicated teacher and a nimble-minded writer." - Cincinnati City Beat "An intelligently detailed examination of 29 works of art, ranging from a tomb painting of Egyptian Queen Nefertari to George Lucas' film Revenge of the Sith. . . . Paglia is a wonderful popularizer of art history and art appreciation." - Kirkus Reviews "Succinct, lively, and illuminating. . . . Paglia's bold and rigorous, handsomely illustrated and welcoming art iconography will accomplish her mission to provoke, enlighten, and inspire.." - Booklist (starred) "A valuable cultural critique and an elucidating history. . . .
