The Art Critic is a first of its kind work in illuminating readers to general art appreciation and its significance in understanding cultures and ethos across the world. Intricately authored by Richard Bartholomew, an art expert, the book sets a new standard in literary criticism and art literature in the 1980's, when it was first published.30 years on, the book still remains relevant for the key highlights it throws on the basic principles of art styles, expressions and their interpretations, guiding the reader comprehensively on how to go about it, while also chronicling a pen picture of the dynamics of Indian art around the 1960's and 1970's. This posthumous collection also features stories and conversations about the author's friends S.H Raza, MF Husain, SatishGujral and many others. It stands today as a glowing tribute to Richard's contributions to literary review of art and to an extent, to art itself. This is one of the most - famous and insightful works of Richard Bartholomew, a pioneer in art criticism. The book features over 250 impeccable illustrations and black and white photographic documents, personally pictured by the author during the 1970's.
