Critic's chart: books on art and artists

In 2006 Derwent May, a writer and reviewer for the London Times, named a "critic's chart" of top books of exchanges of letters.

One book on his list:

THE SHOCK OF THE NEW
Robert Hughes

A persuasive critic on a roller-coaster ride through Modernism, linked to a memorable television series.

Read about the other books to make the chart.
