More DescriptionIncludes seminal essays on abstract painting by eleven of its most incisive critics that trace the development of such critical issues as hard-edge painting, deductive and serial structure, monochrome abstraction, the psychological analogy, regionalism, and the "death of painting" in Postmodernism.
