Between Abstraction and Realism: Painting on the edge

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

ABSTRACT

This text aims to reflect on contemporary painting that stands out for being on the borderline between two classic concepts of modern art: "figurative" and "abstract." The paper is based on authors from the theory of modern art (such as Clement Greenberg and Leo Steinberg), from philosophy (such as Jacques Rancière), from the theory of contemporary art (such as Anne Cauquelin) and from writings by the German painter Gerhard Richter.
