![]() ![]() Street brawler, libertine, fugitive from justice, Caravaggio’s credentials for “transgression” were impeccable. Schama finds the ideal protagonist in his opening chapter on the tortured genius of Baroque Italy, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. Their themes, according to Schama’s narrative, were not matters of aesthetics but rather of “salvation, freedom, mortality, transgression, the state of the world, the state of our souls.” Rather that picking the most picturesque or technically innovative masterpiece, Schama emphasizes the insights and impact of these artists on the societies in which they lived and worked. The deciding factor in selecting these seminal works is what Schama terms the “conversionary” power of their art. He chronicles the struggles of eight artists – Caravaggio, Bernini, Rembrandt, David, Turner, Van Gogh, Picasso and Rothko – by focusing upon a key work of art by each of these embattled old masters. ![]() Schama’s recent book is the companion volume to the BBC television series of the same title. “An artist is not paid for his labor,” proclaimed the 19th century painter,” James McNeil Whistler, “but for his vision.”Īfter reading Simon Schama’s, The Power of Art, it is disturbing to reflect that scorn and incomprehension are often the only payment that visionary artists ever receive, at least during their lifetimes. ![]() The Power of Art by Simon Schama Ecco, 448 pp. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Good: The average used and worn book that has all pages or leaves present.

It's not about reservations or the old stories, but about the struggles of modern Indians in the inner cities. The characters and stories here are not the stereotypes most non-native Americans are familiar with. He has somehow written a book where every chapter is from a different point of view and yet every single character's voice is unique and engaging. Orange's characters are vivid and complex. There seems to be some underlying implication in those words that the book has been hyped due to it's sociopolitical importance, and that's just not the case. There There is much-needed and important, but I kind of hate saying that. ![]() The author takes a number of risks, and yet they all work to create a book of such extreme power that it's hard to come away from it unchanged. ![]() ![]() Orange's ambitious debut captures the experience of modern "urban Indians" through constantly shifting third person perspectives, ultimately showing that Native Americans are not a monolith, not a stereotype, not united under a single identity.

These tools are not a standard part of our educational curricula, and have never been presented clearly and entertainingly in a single book - until now.
