Andy Warhol is usually remembered as the artist who said that he wanted to be a machine, and that no one need ever look further than the surface when evaluating him or his art. Arguing against this carefully crafted pop image, Reva Wolf shows that Warhol was in fact deeply emotionally engaged with the people around him and that this was reflected in his art. Wolf investigates the underground culture of poets, artists, and filmmakers who interacted with Warhol regularly. She claims that Warhol understood the literary imagination of his generation and that recognizing Warhol's literary activities is essential to understanding his art. Drawing on a wealth of unpublished material, including interviews, personal and public archives, tape recordings, documentary photographs, and works of art, Wolf offers dramatic evidence that Warhol's interactions with writers functioned like an extended conversation and details how this process impacted his work. This highly original and fascinating study gives us fresh insight into Warhol's art as practice and reformulates the myth that surrounds this popular American artist.

There has been a recent resurgence of interest in the work of Goya, but rarely have his well-known prints been juxtaposed with the graphic works that served as sources for his remarkable imagery as well as those that drew on his own inventions. Reva Wolf, an art historian who has done extensive work on Goya, has written a ground-breaking essay to accompany this profusely and vividly illustrated volume of satirical prints by Goya and others. She traces the dissemination of satirical prints on the Continent from their origin in Hogarth's England (which was considered strikingly lenient by non-English viewers in allowing such bold and often openly critical woks to be produced). She provides fascinating and full documentation as to how this stock imagery was appropriated and recycled by both lesser and greater artists who adapted it to entirely new social and political situations. Goya and the Satirical Print is an important contribution to the iconography of satire, as well as a searching reexamination of Goya's unique and lasting contribution to the genre.
