A principal theme of Michael Frieds essays is a fundamental concern of his throughout his career: the relationship between painting and the beholder. Frieds typically vivid and strongly argued essays offer many new readings and unexpected insights, examining both familiar and lesser-known French artistic and literary works.PaintingArt759.4Fried Michael55735Bann Stephen169386MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809781503321French Suite4104700UNINA
