Books by Adrian Stokes

The first comprehensive selection of writings by British art theorist Adrian Stokes, including important posthumously published essays in addition to classic texts - highlighting him as a pioneering thinker on art and a virtuoso of the essay form.

Reproduced here in facsimile, this volume was originally published in 1965 and is available individually. The collection is also available in a number of themed mini-sets of between 5 and 13 volumes, or as a complete collection.

Stokes gave us art criticism as poetry, and in Michelangelo he produced a highly personal and sensitive portrait of a man and his work.
