The Rebirth of Painting in the Twentieth Century examines the continued validity and variety of painting in the post-modern era. Bringing a psychological perspective to the issues, Donald Kuspit argues that painting remains the premier medium of the visual arts, in terms of its potential for innovation and influence on other modes of art making. Discussing a range of representational and abstract painting in the United States and Europe by artists such as Gregory Amenoff, Vincent Desidiero and Odd Nerdrum, Kuspit also examines works by Picasso, Mondrian, Pollock, Johns, and Soutine, among others, with an eye to reevaluating their art historical significance. This study also includes psychosocial studies of various cultural issues that affect painting, including feminism, and Jewishness.
