Fierce Poise: Helen Frankenthaler and 1950s New York by Alexander Nemerov

medium-paced

3.0

What a disappointing book. I was really looking forward to learning about Frankenthaler, but the author writes with a familiarity that feels unearned, and a clear obsession that verges on unsettling. It is shallow. It lacks both emotional and historical depth.
