Description: Painting is an almost inconceivably ancient activity that remains vigorously alive in the twenty - first century. Every successful painting creates a new world which we inhabit for as long as we care to look at it. Paintings can incorporate profound ideas and paradoxes that can be grasped without words. For those who dedicate themselves to it the art of painting can become an all - consuming lifelong obsession. It is a subject on which painters themselves are often the most incisive commentators. Martin Gayford's riveting and richly illustrated book deftly brings together numerous artists voices past and present. It draws on a trove of conversations conducted over more than three decades with artists including Frank Auerbach Gillian Ayres Frank Bowling Cecily Brown Peter Doig Lucian Freud Katharina Fritsch David Hockney Claudette Johnson R. B. Kitaj Lee Ufan Paula Rego Gerhard Richter Bridget Riley Jenny Saville Frank Stella Luc Tuymans Zeng Fanzhi and many more. Here too is Vincent van Gogh on Rembrandt John Constable on Titian Francis Bacon on Vel zquez Lee Krasner on Pollock and Jean - Michel Basquiat on Picasso. We hear the personal reflections of these artists on their chosen medium; how and why they paint; how they came to the practice; the influence of fellow painters; and how they find creative sustenance and inspiration in their art.
