Product Description
No matter how popular they are, modern paintings are often difficult for those who do not have extensive, detailed knowledge of art. In this book, "How to Read a Painting" (2004), author Jon Thompson guides the reader through over two hundred paintings by a total of 140 artists, from Bonnard to Basquiat, from Warhol to Whistler. By examining other paintings by the artists and the influences that shaped them, he enables the discovery of the characteristic features of their work. Beginning with the transitional period of the 19th century and the Barbizon School, Thompson takes the reader on a journey of over a century, leading them to the avant-garde movements of the 1980s. Thompson provides examples of works produced in both contemporary and earlier periods, describing the life story, symbolic language, and methods of each artist in the book to help the reader decipher the codes indicated by the painting. Jon Thompson is a painter, writer; an independent curator and also an educator: He retired as a professor from Middlesex University for a period. The artist's works, whose last exhibition opened at the Anthony Reynolds Gallery in London, are included in many official and private collections. (From the Promotional Bulletin)
