Summary:
"Yes, but is it art? This lucid book by Julian Bell, himself a painter, confronts the uncertainty many people feel about art today and challenges generally accepted ideas. This completely revised second edition is a fresh, focused look at
painting
. Bell addresses questions such as does anything unite those objects we call
paintings
, and
what
factors have changed the nature of
painting
over the last two centuries by looking at historical evidence and reasoning from common experience. The current shape of
painting
pushes the book's arguments in new directions and a substantial new chapter, The Arts and Art, speaks to the interplay between 2D work, 3D work, and the immateriality of digital imagery. A general reader's introduction to theories of
painting
that is not only reliably informative but stimulating and amusing to read. An introductory guide to art theory for everyone interested in understanding modern art or in making art themselves. Julian Bell is a painter living in Lewes, Sussex.
