A Decade of Negative Thinking brings together writings on
contemporary art and culture by the painter and feminist art
theorist Mira Schor. Mixing theory and practice, the personal and
the political, she tackles questions about the place of feminism in
art and political discourse, the aesthetics and values of
contemporary painting, and the influence of the market on the
creation of art. Schor writes across disciplines and is committed
to the fluid interrelationship between a formalist aesthetic, a
literary sensibility, and a strongly political viewpoint. Her
critical views are expressed with poetry and humor in the
accessible language that has been her hallmark, and her perspective
is informed by her dual practice as a painter and writer and by her
experience as a teacher of art.In essays such as “The ism that
dare not speak its name,” “Generation 2.5,” “Like a
Veneer,” “Modest Painting,” “Blurring Richter,” and
“Trite Tropes, Clichés, or the Persistence of Styles,” Schor
considers how artists relate to and represent the past and how the
art market influences their choices: whether or not to disavow a
social movement, to explicitly compare their work to that of a
canonical artist, or to take up an exhausted style. She places her
writings in the rich transitory space between the near past and the
“nextmodern.” Witty, brave, rigorous, and heartfelt, Schor’s
essays are impassioned reflections on art, politics, and criticism.
