At the turn of the twenty-first century, many felt sceptical or
confused about painting's on-going cultural relevance. In this
context, Julian Bell's What is Painting? provided an accessible and
inspired account of artistic thinking and practice, and of the
complexities then facing artists and their audiences. Eighteen
years on, the situation is partly reversed. Painting has proved too
resilient a practice to be marginalized any longer. Yet is there
any sense of forward momentum for the art? Interrogating the
factors that have changed our ideas of painting over the past two
centuries, Bell addresses relations between figuration and
abstraction and between narrative and non-narrative painting, as
well as the waning of conceptual art's dominance and the
proliferation of experiments with the physical limits of painting.
He also clarifies general concepts such as `expression' and
`representation'. Fully revised to provide a fresh look at the
situation of painting, this new edition maintains the objective of
lucid, historically informative explanation that earned the
original edition its status as a text of lasting value. The book
provides a general reader's introduction to theories of painting
that is not only reliable, but also stimulating and amusing to
read.
