Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
“[This book] is a fascinating study in skeptical digression. The author has managed to erect a transparent monument to the inescapable paradox of thought thinking itself, which makes for itself the most interesting of art.” ―Tom McGlynn, The Brooklyn Rail
“Developed over several years in a series of provocative and convincing essays, Raphael Rubinstein’s concept of provisionality in art encompasses a wide swath of U.S. and European artists who have been redefining painting. Philosophers, theorists and other critics are heard from, too. It’s a terrific book.” ―Elizabeth C. Baker, Editor-at-Large, Art in America, USA
