Citing Lana Del Rey and Andy Warhol, Isa Genzken and Barkley Hendricks, this illustrated treatise argues for beauty as a vital force of contemporary art

The term beauty has been all but expunged from recent art criticism. And yet it remains a quality that many artists over the last 50 years have regarded as vital to their work, in both form and subject matter. Michael Bracewell and Charles Asprey argue for a return of aesthetics to the science of feelings: in other words, a concept of beauty that is less about representation than it is about memoir, fictional devices and the profundity of human relationships. Their treatise is illustrated with works by an international group of artists, from Gilbert & George to Isa Genzken, Kai Althoff, Lucy McKenzie, Barkley Hendricks and Wolfgang Tillmans. Printed with Japanese Takeo papers, this book is a work of beauty in itself.
