Hardcover. 2006. Robert Hughes has trained his critical eye on many major subjects, from the city of Barcelona to the history of his native Australia. Now he turns that eye inward, onto himself and the world that formed him. Hughes analyzes his experiences the way he might examine a Van Gogh or a Picasso. From his relationship with his stern and distant father to his Catholic upbringing and school years; and from his development as an artist, writer, and critic to his growing appreciation of art and his exhilaration at leaving Australia to discover a new life, Hughes’ memoir is an extraordinary feat of exploration and celebration. 2006. First edition, first printing. A near fine copy with light tanning of the page edges and a gift inscription to the half title page. The d/w is fine. 4.5 Centimeters X 16.1 Centimeters X 24 Centimeters.

Livre Edition originale

Dust Jacket is in very good condition, without tears or chips or other damage. All edges clean, neat and free of foxing. The book is available and will be PACKAGED professionally, DISPATCHED promptly and a TRACKING NUMBER will be advised by Australia Post. In the beautifully written and searingly honest opening chapter, Hughes makes you understand the trauma of devastating physical damage - and most important, he shows us the thought processes that one goes through when confronting death and a reemergence towards life. Using the experience of the accident to justify the need to explore his past, Hughes then takes us through his childhood. What makes this book extraordinary is that it is not one bit self-indulgent. He writes of intimately personal details, but he uses every aspect of his life to expound on broader, universal subjects. he uses his fractured and incomplete relationship with his father to explore family relationships. He uses his father's heroic deeds as a WW1 pilot to explain the history of modern warfare, which then turns into an eloquent anti-war tract. Hughes' years at Jesuit Riverview, a Catholic boys boarding school in Sydney, makes for an entertaining and often hilarious chapter - but it also lets him present us with a history of the Jesuits and leads to a virulently anti-religious point of view. His constant, razor-like examination of Catholicism will defintely be one of the most controversail elements of the book. Hughes then takes us through his development as an artist and writer, and then shows us his beginnings as an art critic, as well as giving us a history and analysis of art criticism and its important to our culture. We share his growing appreciation for art and we share his exhilaration as he leaves confining Australia in the 60s and finds a new life in Italy and London. In each instance, Hughes doesn't just take us on a tour of his life, he takes us on a tour of his mind - and like the perfect tour, it is educational, expansive, entertaining and compelling.
