Remembering the great and irreplaceable, Robert Hughes: 1938-2012
Ken Tucker writes : Robert Hughes, not only one of the greatest art critics, but one of the greatest critics in any medium, has died. He was 74. The Australian-born Hughes was the art critic for Time Magazine starting in 1970, the author of the bestselling history of Australia, The Fatal Shore , and was the writer, producer, and star of one of the finest television documentaries ever aired: The Shock of the New , first broadcast in 1980.
