Craig Staff

Painting, History and Meaning (eBook, ePUB)

Sites of Time

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This compelling new study considers contemporary painting's relationship with time and with events, ideas and paintings from the past. Following French philosopher Jean-François Lyotard's determination of painting as entailing a series of temporal sites, Painting, History and Meaning examines works that tendentiously engage with aspects and events derived from the past.

Craig Staff explores art that has encompassed strategies of excavation, anachronism and memorialization. Examining key works by artists including Dana Schutz, Tomma Abts, Gerhard Richter, Marlene Dumas, Johannes Phokela and Taus Makhacheva, he illuminates the complex relationship between painting and history.
