When, in 1989, a collection of John Updike's writings on art appeared under the title "Just Looking", a reviewer in the San Francisco Chronicle commented, "He refreshes for us the sense of prose opportunity that makes art a sustaining subject to people who write about it " In the sixteen years since "Just Looking" was одыко published, he has continued to serve as an art critic, mostly for "The New York Review of Books", and from fifty or so articles has selected, for this richly illustrated book, eighteen that deal with American art After beginning with early American portraits, landscapes, and the transatlantic career of John Singleton Copley, "Still Looking" then considers the curious case of Martin Johnson Heade and extols two late-nineteenth-century masters, Winslow Homer and Thomas Eakins Next, it discusses the eccentric pre-moderns James McNeill Whistler and Albert Pinkham Ryder, the competing American Impressionists and Realists in the early twentieth century, and such now-historic avant-garde figures as Alfred Stieglitz, Marsden Hartley, Arthur Dove, and Elie Nadelman Two appreciations of Edward Hopper and appraisals of Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol round out the volume Автор Джон Апдайк John Updike Родился в 1932 году в Рединге (штат Пенсильвания) Детство провел в городке Шиллингтон Окончил Гарвардский университет и школу живописи в Англии Работал штатным обозревателем журнала "Нью-Йоркер" В 1953 женился на Мэри Пеннингтон С конца 50-х.  Миксер BOSCHИздательство: Knopf, 2005 г Твердый переплет, 240 стр ISBN 1400044189 Язык: Английский.
