"Examines the role of materiality within the context of modernist painting. The book encompasses a number of historical and artistic contexts including the Russian avant-garde, Greenberg's aesthetic positivism, the significance of gesture in Abstract Expressionism and the art criticism of Michael Fried. Strong addition to scholarship on the nature of painting in the last century"--Provided by publisher.
