内容简介
This absorbing biography, often conveyed through Peter Selz's own word s, traces the journey of a Jewish-German immigrant from Hitler's Munich to the United States and on to an important care er as a pioneer historian of modern art. Paul J. Karlstrom illuminates key historical and cultural events of the twentieth-century as he describes Selz's extra ordinary career - from Chicago's Institute of Design (New Bauhaus), to New York's Museum of Modern Art during the transformative 1960s, and as founding director of the University Art Museum at UC Berkeley. Karlstrom sheds light on the controversial viewpoint s that at times isolated Selz from his colleagues but nonetheless affirmed his conviction that significant art was always an express ion of deep human experience. The book also links Selz's long life story - featuring close relationships with such major art figures as Mark Rothko, Dore Ashton, Willem de Kooning, Sam Francis, and Christo - with his personal commitment to political engagement.
