A Book We Like: Painting Today

From Library Assistant Jenna:


David Schnell Flyover (Auffahrt)
page 258

Painting Today is loaded with over 400 pages of real high quality images from start to finish, no major color distortion or overload of boring text. There is something in here for everyone, categorized into 16 themed chapters such as "Ambiguous Abstraction," "Painting Space," "Post-Feminism," and "Painting Tomorrow." This book is nice and big and fat, making it exciting to open. Check it out before it loses its new book smell.
