Meer over het boek

Exploring the concept of painting as a frontier act, Hugo Houayek delves into the dynamic relationship between art and the world. The book highlights how contemporary painting engages in a constant negotiation to define its space, suggesting that to expand its influence, it must confront reality. This confrontation, viewed as a fall, leads to the dilution of painting within the broader world, emphasizing the complexities and transformative power of the medium.
