Description: Cambridge / New York, Cambridge University Press, 2000. Softcover. glossy pictorial & cream wraps w/ yellow printing. 259 pgs w/ limited bw illustrations. "The Rebirth of Painting in the Late Twentieth Century examines the continued validity and variety of painting in the postmodern era. Bringing a psychological perspective to the subject, Donald Kuspit argues that painting remains the premiere medium of the visual arts, in terms of its potential for innovation and influence on other modes of art making. Discussing a range of representational and abstract painting in the United States and Europe by artists such as Gregory Amenoff, Vincent Desidiero, and Odd Nerdrum, Kuspit also examines works by Picasso, Mondrian, Pollock, Johns, and Soutine, among others, with an eye to reevaluating their art historical significance. This study also includes psychosocial studies of various cultural issues that affect painting, including feminism and Jewish identity."--WorldCat.
