Now, in Art Is Life<\/em>, Jerry Saltz draws on two decades of work to offer a real-time survey of contemporary art as a barometer of our times. Chronicling a period punctuated by dramatic turning points\u2014from the cultural reset of 9\/11 to the rolling social crises of today\u2014Saltz traces how visionary artists have both documented and challenged the culture. Art Is Life offers Saltz\u2019s eye-opening appraisals of trailblazers like Kara Walker, David Wojnarowicz, Hilma af Klint, and Jasper Johns; provocateurs like Jeff Koons, Richard Prince, and Marina Abramovi\u0107; and visionaries like Jackson Pollock, Bill Traylor, and Willem de Kooning. Saltz celebrates landmarks like the Obama portraits by Kehinde Wiley and Amy Sherald, writes searchingly about disturbing moments such as the Ankara gallery assassination, and offers surprising takes on figures from Thomas Kinkade to Kim Kardashian. And he shares stories of his own haunted childhood, his time as a \u201cfailed artist,\u201d and his epiphanies upon beholding work by Botticelli, Delacroix, and the cave painters of Niaux.<\/p>\n

With his signature blend of candor and conviction, Jerry Saltz argues in Art Is Life for the importance of the fearless artist\u2014reminding us that art is a kind of channeled voice of human experience, a necessary window onto our times. The result is an openhearted and irresistibly readable appraisal by one of our most important cultural observers.<\/p>\n

From the Pulitzer Prize winner and bestselling author of How to Be an Artist<\/em>: a deliciously readable survey of the art world in turbulent times.<\/p>\n

Jerry Saltz is one of our most-watched writers about art and artists, and a passionate champion of the importance of art in our shared cultural life. Since the 1990s he has been an indispensable cultural voice: witty and provocative, he has attracted contemporary readers to fine art as few critics have. An early champion of forgotten and overlooked women artists, he has also celebrated the pioneering work of African American, LGBTQ+, and other long-marginalized creators. Sotheby\u2019s Institute of Art has called him, simply, \u201cthe art critic.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":40577,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"afm_hide_title":false,"_afm_post_new_title":"","afm_terms_sep_product_language":", ","afm_terms_sep_product_post_translations":", ","afm_terms_sep_product_product_brand":", ","afm_terms_sep_product_product_type":", ","afm_terms_sep_product_product_visibility":", ","afm_terms_sep_product_product_cat":", ","afm_terms_sep_product_product_tag":", ","afm_terms_sep_product_product_shipping_class":", ","afm_terms_sep_product_pos_product_visibility":", ","afm_terms_sep_product_pa_cindy-sherman-art-bag":", "},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[173],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-39840","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-3106-anskaffede-boker","8":"first","9":"outofstock","10":"taxable","11":"shipping-taxable","12":"purchasable","13":"product-type-simple"},"group_of_quantity":0,"min_quantity":0,"max_quantity":"","exclude_order_quantity_value_rules":"no","exclude_category_quantity_rules":"no","combine_variations":"no","yoast_head":"\nArt is Life: Icons and Iconoclasts, Visionaries and Vigilantes, and Flashes of Hope in the Night – Astrup Fearnley Museet<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Finn unike og eksklusive kunstrelaterte produkter p\u00e5 Astrup Fearnley Museet sin Nettbutikk.
