••• Guy Davenport— “Roy Behrens is a rare example of the graphic artist who is also wonderfully skilled as a writer. His sentences are hale and athletic, alive with sense and excitement, and go about their business with an admirable briskness. He never fusses his subject, hems, or haws. Such brave forthrightness is rare in discursive writing.” Rudolf Arnheim— “I have long admired Behrens’ original research.” Arthur Koestler— “[Behrens] writes with great clarity and incisiveness on subjects about which most art historian ramble and waffe.”http://www.bobolinkbooks.com/DesignHist/Davenport.htmlhttp://www.bobolinkbooks.com/Arnheim/Home.htmlhttp://www.bobolinkbooks.com/BALLAST/AK.htmlshapeimage_16_link_0shapeimage_16_link_1shapeimage_16_link_2
