Painting, with its endless capacity for reinvention, continues to occupy a privileged
position in Western art. Since the mid-20th century, new practices have pushed art
into territories such as performance and installation, leading some critics and artists
to declare painting irrelevant or even finished. But these developments have, in fact,
driven painting to new heights of innovation and interest, making these seventy years
arguably the most lively in its history. Morgan Falconer tells the story beginning
with Jackson Pollock and the Abstract Expressionists on both sides of the Atlantic,
proceeds through postwar abstraction in France, social realism in East Germany, the
end of geometric abstraction in Europe, American post-painterly abstraction, the handmade
ready-mades of Rauschenberg and Johns, Pop's rise in Britain and the US, painting's
confrontations with photography in the 1960s and beyond, the return of expressionism
in the 1980s, new approaches to Pop in the 1990s and 2000s, and the continued variety
of some of the most recent paintings to be made by a younger, 'post-medium' generation
of artists. Painting Beyond Pollock is an illuminating guide for both specialists
and enthusiasts of painting, written in language that is intelligent and accessible
