BOOKS Continued from page 5 and irrationality are not just the ab- sence of wisdom, any more than black in Goya's paintings is merely the absence of color." And regarding 20th-century American painter Ed- ward Hopper, Hughes states, "The word great is debased today, crippled by contemporary hype, and perhaps it only clouds what it seeks to praise." What is best about Hughes, though, is the fearless confidence (and at times arrogance) of his com- mentary. Unlike critical wimps like Gene Shalit, Hughes is merciless with his barbs. When dealing with connoisseurs who "love" abstract- expressionist Mark Rothko but don't know what he's trying to communi- cate, Hughes characterizes their be- havior as "sublime, sublime, sub- lime, sublime: the reflexes go click- ety-clack, all the way down the Guggenheim ramp." Or there are those who miss the point of video and see it as "a grainy close-up of some UCLA graduate rubbing a cockroach to pulp on his left nipple while the soundtrack plays amplified tape-hiss, backward." His most ruthless criticism, though, is reserved for other critics. In his review for the New York Times of French post-modern critic Jean Baudrillard's America, Hughes writes: "It's hard to say which is worse: Baudrillard's absolutism, his sophomoric nihilism or his disdain for empirical sense ...the star of his own road movie, Baudrillard spendsa great deal of time driving... [but he] appears to meet nobody and hear nothing; the only voice in America is his own, a heated and self mythologizing flow of apostrophes' and aphorisms." As Hughes himself would say, ouch. Fortunately, though, this anger and belligerence is not hollow. Hughes' encyclopedic knowledge of both history and art history and his ability to relate those facts to the art in question yields insights and con- clusions which are right on the mark. In the end, his essays are not about what art is but about what it means. And that's what criticism is all about. - Mike Kuniavsky Daily Fine Arts needs writers with backround in classical music.
