Known for his equal skill in poetry and prose, Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867) was one of the most distinctive writers of the nineteenth century. Operating within the French literary scene, his provocative theories on contemporary art remain relevant today. His poetry collections include Les Fleurs du mal (1857) and Petits poèmes en prose (1868). Notable criticisms can be found in Baudelaire: Selected Writings on Art and Artists (1995). Michael Fried is a poet, art critic, art historian, and literary scholar. His many books include Absorption and Theatricality: Painting and Beholder in the Age of Diderot (1980), Art and Objecthood: Essays and Reviews (1998), and The Moment of Caravaggio (2010). Previous books of poems are Powers (1973), To the Center of the Earth (1994), and The Next Bend in the Road (2004). Fried is Professor Emeritus of the Humanities at Johns Hopkins University.
"""Sometimes a little book deserves a big review. Doubtlessly, David Zwirner Books has reissued Charles Baudelaire's critical masterpiece The Salon of 1846 because it is as relevant now as it was in the middle of the 19th century, and we need to be reminded of the importance and responsibility of the middle class in the sphere of artistic endeavors""-- ""Mutual Art"""
