This is the first book-length study of the work of art and cultural critic Robert Hughes. Andrew Reimer, who met Hughes at university, describes how Hughes' Jesuit education influenced his subsequent work for 'Time' magazine, and books including 'The Culture Of Complaint'.
This book focuses on the idea of modernism as a continuity of traditional values, by new means. Hughes and others were shattered when modernism collapsed in the 1960s, to be replaced by the comparative emptiness of pop and post-modern art.
