Painting is a continually expanding and evolving form of creative
expression. The radical changes in the medium that took place in
the 1960s and 70s - the period that saw the shift from a modernist
to a postmodernist visual language - have led to painting's
continued energy and diversity. Suzanne Hudson provides an
intelligent and original survey of contemporary painting - a
critical snapshot that brings together more than 200 artists from
around the world who are defining the painterly ideas and
aesthetics of our time. A contextual introduction maps out the
history of painting in the modern and postmodern eras, followed by
six chapters that explores the themes of appropriation, attitude,
production and distribution, the body, painting about painting, and
painters who introduce performance, installation and textiles into
their work to critique painting itself. Compellingly argued and
beautifully illustrated, Painting Now is an invaluable primer on
the state of painting today.
