A wonderful collection of short pieces-gossipy, chatty, full of overheard conversations, unexpectedly sharp judgments, remarkable predictions. During his lifetime, Henry McBride was the best known and most widely read American art critic, and reading The Flow of Art you can see why. Never doctrinaire or solemn, he managed to write in such a way that the widest audience-artists, curators, collectors, people with a broad interest in the arts and even the general public, with its marginal interest could find something in him. . . . [He] is one of that small band who have made art criticism a branch of literature.-Sanford Schwartz, New Republic This charming and amusing book ought to become compulsory reading for all students of the history of art.-Apollo Important for the history of criticism in America and the personal and sometimes gossipy descriptions of the artist involved.-Choice
