Review:
-- Louis Marin, ?cole des Hautes ?tudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris
" A remarkable book, an excellent and innovative example of bow the major experiences of modern painting, from Matisse and Picasso to Mondrian, Newman, or Ryman require a specific use of theory to be correctly interpreted. A genuinely original contribution, in both style and approach, to a 'new history' of art which reconciles critical theory to historical research." -- Louis Marin, É cole des Hautes É tudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris

Informed by both structuralism and poststructuralism, these essays by art critic and historian Yve-Alain Bois seek to redefine the status of theory in modernist critical discourse. Warning against the uncritical adoption of theoretical fashions and equally against the a priori rejection of all theory, Bois argues in his introduction to this important first collection of his work that theory is best employed in response to the specific demands of a critical problem.
