Longtime Time magazine art critic and historian Robert Hughes, whose The Shock Of The New eight-part documentary exploring modernism from the Impressionists through Warhol was seen by more than 25 million viewers when it aired on the BBC and subsequently on PBS, died today at Calvary Hospital in the Bronx. Hughes was 74 and died after a long illness, the New York Times reported. The bluntly articulate Hughes was popular and well-known enough that in 1978 ABC News tried him out as anchor of its new magazine show 20/20 but reviews of his debut were so bad that he was promptly replaced by Hugh Downs.

The Shock of The New (The book also by Hughes) is hands down the “bible” when it comes to the study of modernism through post-moderism. An extremely detailed account of every major and minor artist, their the effects on the form, as well as, each other. Truly remarkable was he was able to transfer this information into a somewhat compelling film for PBS. He was truly was an amazing scholar and teacher whose book is a stable of college level Art History classes.
Back in the day, when I was an avid reader of print media, I always looked forward to his art criticism in TIME magazine. His take-downs of 80s art gods made for great brain candy. And I adored all the glorious detail he brought to THE FATAL SHORE, a history of his native Australia. It’s to see that THE SHOCK OF THE NEW, which I’ve never seen, is just a few clicks away.
Thanks for a very informative article!
