Review "[Art Theory] is a first-class introduction to the subject, revealing an unusual historical range, a command of diverse and often difficult ideas, and a natural flair for seeing the point--of art and of theory . . . Robert Williams has written a book I will keep on my shelf for rereading and I look forward to further works by him."
