by Kenyon Cox (1905)Possibly the most highly-regarded art critic in the United States, this collection of essays is part of the bedrock of art history. The book is divided into two parts: the "Old Masters," from Perugino and Michelangelo to Rembrandt and William Blake; and the "New Masters," most particularly Saint-Gaudens. His discussion of Rubens, Whistler, and Sargent are still frequently cited.
