These essays examine the transformation and expansion of the field
of painting over the last decades in relation to the more general
lines of development in contemporary culture and visuality. They
pose questions like: How do paintings present themselves to us
today; how are they 'framed' experientially, institutionally and
culturally? In which way can paintings of today be said to reflect
and reflect on the historical transformations of culture, visuality
and image production and consumption? Is it possible to explain
some of the changes and extensions of the field of painting by
placing it in the wider context of cultural history or visual
culture studies? The book is divided into five parts, with each of
them pursuing a distinct line of inquiry: 1. How to situate
painting in a wider cultural context; 2. How to rethink the
question of the ontology of painting; 3. How to define 'painting'
today by taking into consideration that the discipline has
assimilated a wealth of new means of expression and materials; 4.
How to address the role of gender in painting; 5. How to address
the complex relationship between painting, art institutions and the
art market.
