What is painting? Gg Castellano

• For centuries, painting has been our primary tool for visual communication and, consequently, for creating all those cultural imaginaries that catch our eye. However, for some years now, it seems to have lost some of its power in the face of photography and other visual media.

• This influential essay by Julian Bell takes as its starting point the supposed death of painting and offers us a sharp and compelling study that leads us from a reflection on the nature of the pictorial medium into the depths of art and visual representation. Born out of the inevitable influence of John Berger’s *Ways of Seeing*, this book has, in its own right, become a classic of art theory and visual language.
