Book Of The Day: Camille Paglia’s Glittering Images
Camille Paglia’s new book Glittering Images will be released in October this year, but you can order an advance copy now - grab one here.
In Glittering Images America’s premier intellectual provocateur returns to the subject that brought her fame, tackling the great themes of Western art in an enthralling tour through more than two dozen seminal images, some famous and others obscure or unknown. She combines close analysis with background that situates each artist and image within its historical context—from an Egyptian tomb to Titian’s “Venus With a Mirror” to a stunning ending where Paglia declares that the avant-garde tradition is dead and that director George Lucas, creator of Star Wars, is the world’s greatest living artist.
