Kerry James Marshall: History of Painting, Hardback Book

Kerry James Marshall: History of Painting Hardback

Hardback

Description

Kerry James Marshall is one of America’s greatest living painters.

History of Painting presents a groundbreaking body of new work that engages with the history of the medium itself. In Kerry James Marshall: History of Painting, the artist has widened his scope to include both figurative and nonfigurative works that deal explicitly with art history, race, and gender, as well as paintings that force us to reexamine how artworks are received in the world and in the art market.

In all the paintings in this book, Marshall’s critique of history and of dominant white narratives is present, even as the subjects of the paintings move between reproductions of auction catalogues, abstract works, and scenes of everyday life. Essays by Hal Foster and Teju Cole help readers navigate Marshall’s masterful vision, decoding complexly layered works such as Untitled (Underpainting), 2018, and Marshall’s own artistic philosophy.

This catalogue is published on the occasion of Marshall’s eponymous exhibition at David Zwirner, London in 2018.
