Mel Bochner, a renowned visual artist and critic, emphasized the intertwining of personal connections and critical analysis in evaluating his work. His writings and reflections, particularly his significant essays from the late 1960s, provide foundational insights into the evolving art scene. Additionally, Bochner's sense of humor enriched his artistic perspective, demonstrating the depth of his engagement with both contemporary art and historical contexts. He challenged the concept of 'full disclosure,' asserting that personal bias cannot be entirely separated from critical discourse.
"Bochner is often thought of as having been as much a critic as a visual artist, and his corpus of writings... is significant."
