Samuel Y. Edgerton loves Gauvin Alexander Bailey’s new Art of Colonial Latin America: “When I think of all the popular surveys I’ve assigned in my fifty years of teaching art history … only E.H. Gombrich’s Story of Art … is a true literary gem … But now, eureka! The survey by Gauvin Bailey here under review has, in my seasoned opinion, truly reached a literary level worthy of Gombrich … His is not only a superb survey, but one of the most engaging art history books I’ve ever read on any subject.”
