New Image: Painting in the 1980's

Whether it be termed the "New Painting" or "Neo-Expressionism," Tony Godfrey provides astute observations on painting in the 80s and the cultural provocations behind it. Included are reproductions of the work of the more well-known artists--Baselitz, Clemente, Schnabel, Rothenberg, and Salle-- as well as thought-provoking work by less publicized painters. An introduction to the visual work of our time and the critical connundrums it addresses and produces.
