"For the past thirty-five years, the painter Leon Golub has been producing images that run counter to the 'mainstream' of the American avant-garde. Only recently has the importance of this body of work been appreciated on its own terms and as commentary on the direction of mid-century art. To appreciate Golub's work requires a radically new perspective on the contemporary artist's vision. In that respect, Donald Kuspit's essay is more than just an assessment of one artist. It serves as a challenge to the modernist perspective as well." -- From the back cover.
