In his influential essay "Provisional Painting," Raphael Rubinstein
applied the term "provisional" to contemporary painters whose work
looked intentionally casual, dashed-off, tentative, unfinished or
self-cancelling; who appeared to have deliberately turned away from
"strong" painting for something that seemed to constantly risk
failure or inconsequence. In this collection of essays, Rubinstein
expands the scope of his original article by surveying the
historical and philosophical underpinnings of provisionality in
recent visual art, as well as examining the works of individual
artists in detail. He also engages crucial texts by Samuel Beckett
and philosopher Gianni Vattimo. Re-examining several decades of
painting practices, Rubinstein argues that provisionality, in all
its many forms, has been both a foundational element in the history
of modern art and the encapsulation of an attitude that is
profoundly contemporary.
