Review:
"Sylvester's real achievement-consists of an almost unrivalled power to gaze, and to find language to express the rewards of intensive contemplation" (Frank Kermode London Review of Books)
"Sylvester lists the qualities that make a painter great: "fearlessness; a profound originality, a total absorption in what obsesses him, and above all, a certain authority and gravity". All these apply in equal measure to himself, compounded with vast scholarship, wit and modesty" (Elspeth Barker Sunday Times)
"David Sylvester is in many ways the most distinguished critical writer Britain has produced since Roger Fry" (Patrick Reyntiens Tablet)
"Sylvester is not only the foremost writer on art: he is also a marvellous prose stylist and an outstanding mind. Original, erudite, witty and moving" (Cressida Connolly Spectator)
"Everybody interested in the subject...will want this book" (Martin Gayford Sunday Telegraph)
