Rosenblum's "Transformations in late Eighteenth century art" is still one of th best and most inspiring books on the art of neoclassicism and early romaticism. Encompassing both pictorial arts and architecture, it points central themes in the arts of that time. It offers clues to further investigations as to the seminal character of the fundamental changes in the art and architecture of the late 18th century. And it is wonderfully wide in perspective and clear in its argument. It presents a number of focus in a period where one gets easily lost in either superficial statements or far too detailed information.
A view of artistic development which argues that the Paris-orientated orthodoxy of modern art does not allow for achievements which, in the eyes of the author, can be fairly called major. Other work by the author includes The Romantic Child, and The Jeff Koons Handbook.
