Abstract (en)
Surveys Steinberg's writings on art, both old masters and modern, in the context of art criticism in the United States from Clement Greenberg on. Shows that Steinberg was the first critic to react against the modernist attitude represented by Greenberg's writings, and one of the first to use the teachings of psychoanalysis to interpret art. Asserts that while Steinberg did not in every case carry to its furthest points certain notions suggested by contemporary art (such as works by Johns and Rauschenberg), he did call attention to a number of issues that have become central to postmodern criticism.
