Sources include, as the title says, artists and critics-some expected, like van Gogh, Gauguin, Apollinaire, Mondrian, Greenberg, just to name a few-and some less so: Trotsky and Hitler, in the section on Art and Politics. The book is a wonderful resource and insight into the way artists think and work.

Reviews for Theories of Modern Art: A Source Book by Artists and Critics (California Studies in the History of Art)
"The richest, most thorough and authoritative anthology of theoretical source materials on painting and sculpture since Cezanne which has so far appeared."
Alfred Frankenstein San Francisco Chronicle "Once in a great while one discovers a book that is unusual in approach, scope, and content. This is such a book ... From the words of the artists, ... one gets an insight concerning their art, a feeling of knowing the artists, and an awareness of their humanness
added dimensions that make viewing their art work even more meaningful... This book is a significant contribution and is an important source for anyone interested in or involved with modern art." Art Education "A rich feast of letters, manifestos, reviews, interviews, and other writings relating to the study of modern art, carefully searched and methodically selected... He wrote the book to fill a need often cited by art historians and students
to put the study of modern art on a sounder ideological basis. This he does... Other collections of documents of art by modern artists have been printed, but this source book has the advantages of objectivity and large scope... highly recommended for art collections and also for its relevance to humanities in general." Library Journal
