About this listen

Hot Cold Heavy Light collects 100 writings - some long, some short - that taken together form a group portrait of many of the world’s most significant and interesting artists. From Pablo Picasso to Cindy Sherman, Old Masters to contemporary masters, paintings to comix, and saints to charlatans, Schjeldahl ranges widely through the diverse and confusing art world, an expert guide to a dazzling scene.

No other writer enhances the listener's experience of art in precise, jargon-free prose as Schjeldahl does. His reviews are more essay than criticism, and he offers engaging and informative accounts of artists and their work. For more than three decades, he has written about art with Emersonian openness and clarity. A fresh perspective, an unexpected connection, a lucid gloss on a big idea awaits the listener in every minute of this big, absorbing, buzzing audiobook.

Some really interesting pieces in this collection. Some long some short. The only thing I would say is that it covers really all of art history, so some bits I skipped because I’m not interested in what I call classical technical reproduction, as apposed to proper art which takes thought

Some very interesting essays and reviews about a wide range of art and artists

Humble, humorous, humane and razor sharp. Peter Schjeldahl makes you reflect, makes you think. I recommend this book to every art lover out there.

Intellectual but not academic

Again, there are no chapter headings, so you cannot navigate the book. Poor showing from Audible, it deters me from buying further books. Audible needs to move from being 'good' to being 'great'. As things stand, I wouldn't recommend Audible to a friend. Get you act together...
