Critic: In her presentation of important works of art in her art history textbook, Waverly claims to have presented only objective accounts: “I have sought neither to advocate nor to denigrate what I included.” In writing about art, a pretense of objectivity never succeeds: clearly, Waverly writes much better about art she likes than about art to which she is indifferent.
