About this title
Synopsis:Provides a personal look at New York and its crime, art world, homeless, celebrities, ethnic groups, and business leaders
From Publishers Weekly:In acid engravings and paintings, Hogarth captured the riotous excesses of middle-class England. His pictures transcend genre painting and make a universal commentary on human folly. But most of his successors recorded the tastes and manners of their times in an uncritical fashion. Examples include the "conversation pieces" and rural idylls of Arthur Devis and John Zoffany. Only infrequently, artists like Gainsborough and Stubbs, in limning the contemporary social scene, stumbled upon the actual. Victorian genre artists breathed some reality into pictures of families ruined by gambling and fallen women. Walter Sickert (18601942), rejecting genteel traditions, uncovered the beauty lurking in commonplace urban scenes. Johnson, a Princeton professor, objectively examines the highs and lows of Britain's socially relevant painting. The more than 200 plates here are marked by sharp local detail, robust characterizations and touches of humor.

Reviews for "Hidden Treasures: Exploring Off-the-Beaten-Path Locations in a Magical Metropolis on a Monday"
1. Jessica - 1/5 - I was really looking forward to reading "Magical Metropolis on a Monday," but I was extremely disappointed with what I found. The plot was confusing and poorly developed, making it nearly impossible to follow along with the story. The characters were flat and lacked depth, making it difficult to connect with any of them. Additionally, the writing itself was unimpressive, with awkward phrasing and awkward sentence structures. Overall, I found this book to be a complete letdown, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a well-written and enjoyable read.
2. Mark - 2/5 - While "Magical Metropolis on a Monday" had an interesting concept, the execution fell flat. The pacing of the story was inconsistent, with slow and uneventful moments followed by rushed and confusing scenes. The world-building was weak, leaving me with many unanswered questions and a lack of understanding of the magical elements introduced. The dialogue felt forced and lacked authenticity, making it difficult to believe in the interactions between the characters. Overall, I found this book to be mediocre and left me feeling unsatisfied as a reader.
3. Sarah - 2/5 - I had high hopes for "Magical Metropolis on a Monday," but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. The story felt disjointed and lacked a clear direction, making it hard to stay engaged. The characters were one-dimensional and predictable, and their actions seemed unrealistic at times. The writing style was also somewhat awkward, with repetitive phrases and awkward transitions between scenes. I was left feeling underwhelmed by this book, and I wouldn't recommend it to others unless they have a strong interest in the genre.
