The "death of painting" and its subsequent resurrection in transformed conditions is a leitmotif of the modern era. Painting's postconceptual resurgence at the start of the 1980s began a dramatic expansion of its field. If painting remains important today, it is because its contradictions have been acknowledged as artists have radically diversified the components of its production and presentation. This first anthology to focus on painting's multiple discourses over the last three decades brings together key statements, dialogues, and debates that have moved the conversation beyond the modern/postmodern dialectic while redefining the conditions necessary for an artwork to be described as "painting." The diversity of contemporary painting's meanings and practices encompasses the randomness and eclecticism associated with Web-based creation. Although for many the presence of paint endures, others have argued for painting to be classed not as a material but as a philosophical category. Compiled by a leading critic of painting who actively participated in these conversations while also teaching young artists in the studio classroom, this collection ranges widely, to reflect the diversity of ways in which painting continues to be investigated and evaluated in studios, exhibition spaces, and the marketplace of ideas. These writings, statements, and interviews reflect ongoing debates and reignite questions for an as yet unimagined future of painting.

Review
"This superb collection of newly classical writings proceeds from the virtual end of painting in 1981 to its many re-emergences, all the more vital each time. Whether an individual text questions, explains or marvels at what painting can do, each merits attention, even a painter's attention." - Richard Shiff, Professor of Modern and Contemporary Art of Europe and America, University of Texas at Austin "The great number of young artists who set out each year to become painters should long ago have put to rest conversations about the so-called death of painting. But this debate has been far too evocative for the art would simply to let it go, as Terry R. Myers points out in his introduction to this superb collection of iconic essays by artists and writers. His curated volume is full of revelations, demonstrating that it is the tension between the desire for painting and the theoretical arguments it provokes that continues to keep us intellectually and visually enthralled. This terrific anthology lays it all out." - Carol Becker, Dean of Columbia University School of the Arts, author of Thinking in Place: Art, Action and Cultural Production.

A book to chew or gnaw on for a while... Better than most!
By JA
There's enough painting and painters going on now globally to turn one's head inside out. And this is (one) of the good collections of commentary on some of it; 'the words to the paint', if you will. It's probably better than most books out there that promise good discussion 'on painting'. So, if that's your thing, I recommend it. Do keep in mind, the mix of essays ranges evenly from 1981~2009.
But, said ~30 years of discourse in one book naturally makes for a random/narrow, commercial/avante-guarde, didactic/speculative, confusing/convenient, heavy/light, etc/etc...all pretty consistent with today's painting going on. It's not to be read cover to cover, (mine stays near the tub,) and several of the essays are on the scholarly/ hard-to-decipher side. The essays date from 1981-2009 and include interviews, writings, criticisms, etc from well known (painters, critics, philosophers, hists, etc), to names you'll have to look up, if so inclined. There's 'mourning the death of painting', markets/capitalism/gallerism, Women in ptg., on China (Dafen), modern public/audience considerations, historical considerations, etc. Painters discussed or their writings, and some of the critics/writers include: Richter, Chuck Close, Dumas, Oehlen & Butzer, Jim Shaw, Storr, Philip Taaffe, B Milhazes, Tuymans, Curin, Mira Schor,... Deleuze, Groos, Collings &Alpers, Jerry Saltz, Storr, etcetc ... Thats only a few, random names...there's no shortage of subjects (size or range)...Easily more of these collections 'on PAINTING' could be similarly published with the 1000's of similar writings out there. Some of the best contemporary thought and musing is in this book but a lot is probably missing...
There's also a lot of rehash and old thought and popular themes, some cool interviews (the artists it seems are just as bewildered - and admit it.)
If you are mainly an art-painting-lover who likes to look at paintings (NO illustrations in this book), go look and buy and continue to love paintings, you dont NEED this book (unless thats your idea of fun).
If you are a painter, go to the studio and paint, dont bother or get too bogged down by such ramblings as these. That's THEIR job, to write and theorize. You dont NEED this book (unless thats your idea of fun...probably is.)
If you're curator, critic, gallerist, historian, philosopher, intellectual etcetc., don't wait another moment, buy a copy to gorge on.
Enjoy!

contemporary thoughts on painting
By Christina M. Tammaro
I was hoping this had more artists that are hard core painters and not the typical famous artists and their view on painting. But the essays are interesting. Painting is returning as an area of focus and I was hoping this documented this new interest.

Read it, but don't expect any major revelations.
By Colin
Every 30 pages I encountered a paragraph that reminded me why I was reading the book. That's basically summarizes my thoughts about all of the Documents of Contemporary Art series. Read it, but don't expect any major revelations. And don't be afraid to skip ahead when you get bored.
