Critical perspective on contemporary painting : hybridity, hegemony, historicism

This collection of essays, along with artwork contributions from several contemporary artists, examines and assesses the status of paining within global contemporary art.

The meaning and value of "painting" as both a category and a set of practices is analysed by internationally reknown art critics, historians and theorists including Griselda Pollock and Alison Rowley, Katya Garcia Anton, David Green, and Jonathan Harris.
