Sticky Sublime

Edited by Bill Beckley

A companion anthology to the critically acclaimed Uncontrollable Beauty, this volume pushes the polemic on beauty even further, speculating where the beautiful and the Sublime will be situated in our post-modern, new technology era. Readers will discover intriguing essays by such respected creators and critics as Harold Bloom, Barbara Maria Stafford, and Anthony Harden-Guest, many of which were composed exclusively for this extraordinary work. Art history lovers, academics, and anyone else interested in art appreciation will be surprised and entertained by what these internationally acclaimed authors have to say on an idea that has captivated and tangled the minds of great thinkers for centuries.

Reviews

�The essays collected in Sticky Sublime will re-establish the importance of the sublime. This magnificent book shows that serious historical reflection can guide and inspire present-day debate about the values of art.�
�David Carrier, author of The Aesthetics of Comics and 1999�2000 Getty Scholar

�Sticky Sublime is the companion volume to the critically acclaimed Uncontrollable Beauty, the inaugural anthology of the Aesthetics Today series, copublished by Allworth Press and the School of Visual Arts. Here�s what critics are saying about this new vision of beauty: �Uncontrollable Beauty seeks to examine the changing role of beauty in the twentieth century and give beauty a kind of critical makeover . . . Thus, while turning to Kant, Freud, John Ruskin, and even Dr. Seuss for inspiration, many of the writings offer beauty a fresh face, casting it as a healing, personal, unpredictable, ungovernable experience."
�New York Times

�Artists are rebelling against the visual starkness and political agendas of art of the recent past, and are growing increasingly unafraid to discuss their work with words like �vibrancy,� �lushness,� even �glamour.� For them, beauty is definitely back in style . . . Many of today�s most articulate defenders of beauty are people like Hickey, Beckley, Schjeldahl. They reject what they call the strain of intolerance and aesthetic �puritanism� running through the art world.�
�Christian Science Monitor
