Softcover. Condizione: New. Reprint. Product Description"In this delightful autofiction-the first book by Gainza, an Argentine art critic, to appear in English-a woman delivers pithy assessments of world-class painters along with glimpses of her life, braiding the two into an illuminating whole." -The New York Times Book Review, Notable Book of the Year and Editors' ChoiceThe narrator of Optic Nerve is an Argentinian woman whose obsession is art. The story of her life is the story of the paintings, and painters, who matter to her. Her intimate, digressive voice guides us through a gallery of moments that have touched her.In these pages, El Greco visits the Sistine Chapel and is appalled by Michelangelos bodies. The mystery of Rothkos refusal to finish murals for the Seagram Building in New York is blended with the story of a hospital in which a prostitute walks the halls while the narrators husband receives chemotherapy. Alfred de Dreux visits Gericaults workshop; Gustave Courbets devilish seascapes incite viewers to have sex, or to eat an apple; Picasso organizes a cruel banquet in Rousseaus honor . . . All of these fascinating episodes in art history interact with the narrators life in Buenos Aires-her family and work; her loves and losses; her infatuations and disappointments. The effect is of a character refracted by environment, composed by the canvases she studies.Seductive and capricious, Optic Nerve marks the English-language debut of a major Argentinian writer. It is a book that captures, like no other, the mysterious connections between a work of art and the person who perceives it.ReviewPraise for Optic NerveFinalist for the 2020 Los Angeles Times Art Seidenbaum Award for First FictionThe New York Times Book Review, 1 of the 100 Notable Books of the YearPublishers Weekly, One of the Top Ten Books of the YearIn this delightful autofiction-the first book by Gainza, an Argentine art critic, to appear in English-a woman delivers pithy assessments of world-class painters along with glimpses of her life, braiding the two into an illuminating whole. -The New York Times Book Review, Editors ChoiceAppealing and digressive . . . Marias store of information about painters and their lives can make reading the book feel, delightfully, like auditing a course . . . Consistently charms with its tight swirl of art history, personal reminiscence and aesthetic theories. -John Williams, The New York Times Book ReviewA roving, impassioned hybrid of art history and memoir . . . The pithy biographical portions of Optic Nerve are bracing correctives to potted textbook histories . . . Treat the chapters like stand-alone essays, each one enlivened by the delightful variety and idiosyncrasy of artistic obsession. -Sam Sacks, The Wall Street JournalStartlingly original . . . Both Gainzas writing style and her taste in art display a preference for understatement . . . One senses a certain arbitrariness, a sincerity of taste that brings to mind Borgess literary enthusiasms . . . Rare and exquisite. -Maxine Swann, Los Angeles Review of BooksGainzas narrator is an Argentinian woman with a great interest in art and she weaves in and out of anecdotes from her own life, information about artists, and engagement with the art itself. Its discursiveness is its greatest strength; the smooth movement from one subject to the other is engaging and satisfying. Gainza also has an ability to wrestle with the contradictions and small lies that operating in the Art world, so to speak, produces. -Bradley Babendir, Chicago Review of BooksHere, art is a trellis around which life knots and overlaps, severs, climbs upward . . . Optic Nerves episodic iridescence-the way each chapter shimmers with the delicacy of a soap bubble-belies its gravity. Gainza has written an intricate, obsessive, recherche novel about the chasm that opens up between what we see and what we understand . . . a radiant debut. -Dustin Illingworth, The NationGainzas long-awa.
