Review of Simon Critchley, On Humour [Book Review]
Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism 61 (4):414-416 (2003)
Abstract
The highlight of Simon Critchley's small book On Humor (2002) is the inclusion of seven beautiful prints by Charles Le Brun at the start of each chapter. Le Brun's captivating drawings are zoomorphic studies of the human face, each in relation to a different animal.Author's Profile
