The Invisible Dragon synopsis

Invisible Dragon raised much of the hype of the little book when it was originally published in 1993. The artists defended their strong call to reconsider beauty and destroyed it by more systematically organized critics who rejected the notion of beauty as naive, igniting a debate that showed no sign of reporting .

With this revised and expanded edition, Hickey returned to ignite the flames. More than a polite statement, an invitation to work more than criticism, The Invisible Dragon aims directly at the excessive institutionalism that, in Hickey's view, denies the true pleasures that attract us to art in the first place.

The artworks of Warhol, Raphael, Caravaggio, Mabelthorpe, Ruskin, Shakespeare, Delioz and Foucault. Hecky takes museum culture, arid academia and hard politics to make readers rethink the nature of art.

A new introduction provides context for previous articles, which Hickey calls intellectual tantrums. A new article entitled "American Beauty" concludes with a historical argument that captures the color of the democratic nature inherent in beauty. Written with extreme vitality in critical criticism, this expanded and revised edition of The Invisible Dragon will ensure that it captures a new generation of readers, triggering emotional reactions that are the hallmark of great criticism..
