Informationen zum Autor Craig Staff is Reader in Fine Art at the University of Northampton, an artist and author of Modernist Painting and Materiality (2011). Klappentext A great introduction to contemporary painting for students, practitioners and gallery-goers. 'While painting, as a practice, appears now in a host of widespread plural guises and contexts, attempts to theorise its global terrain have generally been avoided of late.
