Description
Julian Bell's study of modern art and the nature of painting challenges widely accepted ideas about art. Now in its revised second edition, What is Painting? offers a fresh look at painting by exploring questions such as what unites different types of paintings and how the medium has changed over time.
The book examines historical evidence and common experience to understand the current state of painting. A new chapter on The Arts and Art considers the interplay between 2D work, 3D work, and digital imagery. This introduction to art theory is designed to be informative, stimulating, and engaging for readers interested in modern art or making art themselves.
