Seeing Out Loud: The Voice Art Columns Fall 1998 - Winter 2003

About this book

Literary Nonfiction. Art. In SEEING OUT LOUD Saltz critically engages with notable works of art by over 100 notable artists ranging from Picasso Matisse and Warhol to Matthew Barney Gerhard Richter and Chris Ofili. These reviews appeared in the Village Voice between November 1998 and winter 2003. "Jerry Saltz is the best informed and hair-trigger liveliest of contemporary art critics tracking pleasure and jump-starting intelligence on the fly. Jerrys fast takes usually stand up better in retrospect than other peoples long views"---Peter Schjedahl. "Jerry Saltz looks at art from the perspective of the viewer the ignorant the lover and the enemy. His writing is overwhelmingly passionate yet without sentimentality. His words pierce the content and beauty of each work of art to test its endurance in time and memory"---Francesco Bonami Curator 2003 Venice Biennale.
