Amazon.com: Wording the Silent Art collects Barbara Caruso's essays on the contemporary art scene, including controversial issues like the National Gallery's purchase of Barnett Newman's Voice of Fire and the recent transformation of public galleries from institutions of preservation to places of pop entertainment and the effect this has on art. She also writes with elegance and verve on the subject of her own painting, on painting practice, and on how to look at visual art. Her generous and wise advice to a young painter is worth the price of this book alone.

A type of representation where hierarchies and scales unite, and where forms, strokes, tones and images are intertwined...We remember the old Mallarme saying, "The universe is a book," especially as we find that, behind these diaries, notebooks, and sketch books, Suarez orders ideas of the infinite." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

The Sackner Archive holds books that have texts of the unusual micrographic writings of Walser. Daly writes, "To the best of my knowledge Walser's celebrated 'Micrograms' have yet to be translated into English...They've only recently been annotated, amounting to nearly five hundred and thirty sheets of miscellaneous, fragmentary manuscripts, constituting a treasure-chest of rarefied scribbles that lay Walser's soul bare. And it can be said that the preternaturally obsessional drift of these writings, which were undertaken during a period of unanchored wanderings around Europe, gradually brought on the madness which eventually propelled him toward institutionalisation...he embarked in 1924 on the Micrograms, which were never released and only finally...
