Ends Of Painting

Meer over het boek

Contemporary art begins where painting ends, or so goes the myth that emerged in the 1960s and 1970s. This book is a post-mortem of that moment - a moment continually replayed in the art practices and histories examining painting's demise. In eleven lively essays, Ends of Painting offers a counter-history, showing how the practice and discourse of painting remained integral to art throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Each chapter captures a renewed critical approach to topics as diverse as conceptualism and anachronism, photography and autobiography, race and modernism.
