In the course of a career thinking and writing about art, critic Martin Gayford has traveled all over the world both to see works of art and to meet artists. Gayford's journeys, often to fairly inaccessible places, involve frustrations and complications, but also serendipitous encounters and outcomes, which he makes as much a part of the story as the final destination. In chapters that are by turns humorous, intriguing, and stimulating, Gayford takes us to places as varied as Brancusi's Endless Column in Romania; prehistoric caves in France; the museum island of Naoshima in Japan; the Judd Foundation in Marfa, Texas; and an exhibition of Roni Horn's work in Iceland.

Interwoven with these tales are journeys to meet artists--Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris, Marina Abramovic in Venice, Robert Rauschenberg in New York--and travels with artists, such as a trip to Beijing with Gilbert & George. These encounters not only provide fascinating insights into the way artists approach and think about their art, but reveal the importance of their personal environments.

A perceptive, amusing, and knowledgeable companion, in The Pursuit of Art Gayford takes readers on a tour of art that is immensely entertaining, informative, and eminently readable.

Postpartum Opinion
Fit Type: Boyshort, Size: X-Large, Color: Assorted Colors
Bought the boy shorts size XL for postpartum and am still wearing them 8 months later! Holds all the postpartum goods in but are super stretchy too. Sooooo comfy! They do roll up when putting pants on but if you’re wearing them to bed or around the house, amazing!

To fit or not to fit?
Fit Type: Boyshort, Size: XX-Large, Color: Assorted Colors
NIce quality, comfortable fabric, dries quick, and retains color after multiple washings. However; the fit did not work 100% for me. The legs kind of rode up and the boy shorts had a tendency to ride down, especially with consistent bending up and down activity. Good product but not a perfect fit for my shape. The bikini style was ideal and purchased multiple times.

Very comfortable, right length
Size: Large, Color: Black,grey
This product arrived as described. I like the trunk length, not the boxer brief length. They are comfortable. Hold up well when worn and washed. I don't seem to sweat as much. These were ordered to replace ones ordered about 2-3 years ago due loss of weight, had to down size. The waist band doesn't roll as like other brands.
