520    "An extraordinary collection--hawk-eyed and understanding-
       -from the Booker Prize-winning, best-selling author of The
       Sense of an Ending and Levels of Life. As Julian Barnes 
       explains: "Flaubert believed that...great paintings 
       required no words of explanation. Braque thought the ideal
       state would be reached when we said nothing at all in 
       front of a painting....But it is a rare picture that stuns,
       or argues, us into silence. And if one does, it is only a 
       short time before we want to explain and understand the 
       very silence into which we have been plunged." This is the
       exact dynamic that informs his new book. Barnes, in his 
       1989 novel A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters, had 
       a chapter on Gericault's The Raft of the Medusa, and since
       then he has written about many great masters of nineteenth
       - and twentieth-century art, including Delacroix, Manet, 
       Fantin-Latour, Cezanne, Degas, Redon, Bonnard, Vuillard, 
       Vallotton, Braque, Magritte, Oldenburg, Howard Hodgkin, 
       and Lucian Freud. The seventeen essays gathered here are 
       adroit, insightful and, above all, a true pleasure to read
