Synopsis
This book tells the story of what painting has meant to us, and how its role has been reinvented over the centuries. In the commentary on each of 150 landmark works, Roy Bolton leads us through the development of painting until our own age, where painting as a painterly craft has been overtaken by a proliferation of new forms introduced by contemporary art.
