Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
This unusual volumeApart art history, part journalism, and part diaryAoffers a crash course on the Pop Art scene in London from roughly the Sixties onward and does so with intelligence and humor. Collings has spent his life in this artistic environment, and he writes with an insider's ease. In an engaging mix of anecdote, critique, and discussion, he presents a somewhat wild potpourri of the lives, unusual habits, and creations of such individuals as Damien Hirst, John Stezaker, R.B. Kitaj, and David Hockney, to name only a very few. Along the way he takes a look at various trends from Shock Art to Pop to the School of London, including the philosophies of each as well as a descriptive sampling of the works of their various adherents. Lavish illustrations range from the beautiful to the strange to the shocking. Don't let the breezy tone fool youAthis book is filled with a wealth of solid information. Recommended for all contemporary art collections.ACarol J. Binkowski, Bloomfield, NJ

Corr!,
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Blimey! - From Bohemia to Britpop: London Art World from Francis Bacon to Damien Hirst (Taschenbuch)
Matthew Collings is extremely aware of the zeitgeist. His criticisms can be so accurate that it hurts. To get a broad overview on the phenomena of Brit Art I really can't reccommend it enough.

Lightweight but fun,

Rezension bezieht sich auf: Blimey! - From Bohemia to Britpop: London Art World from Francis Bacon to Damien Hirst (Taschenbuch)
The chattiness is fine. I haven't seen Collings on television but I can imagine how he'd be entertaining there. I wondered about his motives a few times when Collings' own paintings showed up deep in the background of photos -- obviously he's so deep in this world that he may have some agendas. But the overall impression is certainly friendly and the few artists he dismisses are big enough to take it. It's a fun book you can read in a couple of hours. The only problem then is remembering any of what's been said.

Brilliant! Very well-written, very very funny.,
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Blimey! - From Bohemia to Britpop: London Art World from Francis Bacon to Damien Hirst (Taschenbuch)
Okay, first let me say: I am not Matthew Collings. I have absolutely no personal connection with Matthew Collings or his publishers or indeed the 'art world'.Now let me say: This book is f**king brilliant. I read "This is Modern Art" after seeing Matthew's brilliant TV series of that name, and that was excellent of course, but who would have guessed that this slightly earlier work is even better? It is the most enjoyable-to-read non-fiction book I have ever encountered, I think, because of MC's brilliantly original, laconic, laid-back style. He knows all his stuff, but writes in such a relaxed style that he is a million miles from showing off. It's just brilliant. The paragraphs have great headings. It's so easy to read, and you learn stuff too. Amazing. Buy this book if you have any interest in modern art at all. Also buy this book if you want to see the best ever writing style. Just buy the thing. You must. I love it to death. I will buy a few more copies right now to give to my loved ones. I am furious that some idiots have dismissed the book, here at amazon.com, as "ungrammatical" and so on, even though that's quite funny really. Ignore those fools! Leave them in the nineteenth century and proceed with Matthew into the twenty-first! Helfen Sie anderen Kunden bei der Suche nach den hilfreichsten Rezensionen
