Searle is a seasoned observer of the art world, and he brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to his analysis. He is also a gifted writer, and his prose is a pleasure to read. Searle's writing is full of wit and humor, but he is also unafraid to tackle serious issues.
The book is divided into three sections. The first section, "Ghosts," explores the ways in which contemporary art is haunted by the past. Searle argues that contemporary artists are often preoccupied with the history of art, and that they often revisit and re-interpret older works of art.
The second section, "Nudity," examines the use of nudity in contemporary art. Searle argues that nudity is a powerful and controversial subject, and that it can be used to express a wide range of emotions and ideas.
The third section, "Disagreements," explores the disagreements that are a part of contemporary art. Searle argues that contemporary art is a diverse and contentious field, and that there is no one right way to interpret it.
Searle's book is a valuable contribution to the literature on contemporary art. It is a witty, insightful, and provocative guide to one of the most complex and challenging art forms of our time.
