His conversationally written pieces present large, synoptic views of an artist's ambitions and frequently include engagingly detailed descriptions of artworks. Although appreciated by artists and art professionals alike, Schwartz's writing is geared to the wider audience: people who want to more deeply experience the artworks they may have encountered in passing.\u003cbr\u003eFor his third book of criticism, Schwartz has selected writings from the past 20 years, accompanied by 40 pages of full-color illustrations. Alongside novel considerations of Willem de Kooning, Louise Bourgeois and Frida Kahlo, Schwartz provides living portraits of the increasingly renowned outsider artist Martín Ramírez and the uncategorizable moviemaking puppeteers the Quay Brothers, among many others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSanford Schwartz\u003c\/b\u003e (born 1946) is the author of critical biographies of Christen K bke, William Nicholson and Edward Hicks.
