The Art of Cruelty: A Reckoning

The Art of Cruelty: A Reckoning
- Used Book in Good Condition
â‚¬Å“This is criticism at its best.â‚¬Ââ‚¬â€¢Carolyn Kellogg, Los Angeles Times
Writing in the tradition of Susan Sontag and Elaine Scarry, Maggie Nelson has emerged as one of our foremost cultural critics with this landmark work about representations of cruelty and violence in art. From Sylvia Plathâ‚¬s poetry to Francis Baconâ‚¬s paintings, from the Saw franchise to Yoko Onoâ‚¬s performance art, Nelsonâ‚¬s nuanced exploration across the artistic landscape ultimately offers a model of how one might balance strong ethical convictions with an equally strong appreciation for work that tests the limits of taste, taboo, and permissibility.
