简介

本书探究了为何如此多人相信马塞尔·杜尚在1918年那番著名的宣告——绘画已死。事实证明杜尚错了：二战前后的几十年间，毕加索、马蒂斯、米罗和纽约画派持续创作着堪比过去最伟大艺术的大型壁画。然而，在政治激进的1960年代和1970年代，敲响绘画丧钟再次成为时尚，绘画被视为资产阶级文化的产物。画廊和博物馆将前卫艺术定义为观念艺术、影像艺术、混合媒介和装置，所有这些都否定了绘画的卓越地位，将其贬为后现代主义的另一种尝试。

美国艺术批评界元老芭芭拉·罗斯在本书中考察了当代艺术家如何重新发现绘画艺术，将比利时与美国艺术家的作品并置，展开一场跨文化的对话。书中收录了Ed Moses、Larry Poons、Jan Vanriet和Marc Maet等艺术家的作品。本书为配合2016年9月15日至11月13日在布鲁塞尔Roberto Polo画廊举办的同名展览而出版。

Barbara Rose is the Grande Dame of American art criticism. Once married to artist Frank Stella, she was immersed in the NYC art scene of the fifties, sixties and seventies. Rose wrote for Art International, Vogue and New York Magazine, and worked as a senior curator for the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. Painting After Postmodernism investigates why so many believed Marcel Duchamp when he made his infamous statement of 1918: that painting was dead. After all, as this book goes on to show, Duchamp was wrong. In the decades before and after World War II, Picasso, Matisse, Miró and the New York School continued to make monumental mural scale paintings on the level of the greatest art of the past. However, in the politically radical 1960s and 1970s it once again became fashionable to toll the death knell for painting, now perceived as the product of bourgeois culture. In its place galleries and museums defined the avant-garde as conceptual art, video, mixed media and installations, all of which denied painting its position of pre-eminence. Painting was reduced to just another form of Postmodernist endeavour. Barbara Rose investigates how contemporary artists rediscovered the art of painting, juxtaposing works from Belgian and American artists to create a cross-cultural dialogue.
