Chaos and Awe

Más información sobre el libro

If artists at the onset of the 20th century hoped to grasp the apparently limitless possibilities of modernity, the 21st century has opened with a darker and more anxious perspective. Chaos and Awe maps the new consciousness emerging from our encounters with cyberspace, globalism, genetic engineering, and social media through the ever-renewable medium of painting. It's a wild and unpredictable ride into the new unknown. - Eleanor Heartney, art writer and contributing editor, Art in America and Artpress; author of Art & Today and coauthor of The Reckoning: Women Artists of the New Millennium
