Description:
Painting is a continually expanding and evolving medium.
The radical changes that have taken place since the 1960s and 1970s – the period that saw the shift from a modernist
to a postmodernist visual language – have led to its reinvigoration as a practice, lending it an energy and diversity
that persist today. In Contemporary Painting, renowned critic and art historian Suzanne Hudson offers an intelligent
and original survey of the subject: a rigorous critical snapshot that brings together more than 250 renowned artists
from around the world, whose ideas and aesthetics characterize the painting of our time.
