According to the chief art critic of the \u003cem\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/em\u003e, his carefully balanced minimalist compositions conjure \"a lovely, contemplative expressiveness\", while \u003cem\u003eTime Out New York\u003c\/em\u003e wrote that \"with considered—and considerable—nuance and deftness, [he] makes a case for the continuing relevance of painting and its capacity for translating seeing into feeling\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNow, Winstanley turns to the medium of writing to translate his experience of painting into words. Taking fifty-nine of his own works as a starting point, he presents a series of episodes that together reveal what it means to conceive, make and think about paintings as an artist. Among the varied subjects that he considers are how a painter seeks out and finds inspiration in life and the world; the relationship between observed and depicted realities; what constitutes 'truth' in a painting; how to approach conceptual and technical challenges; the role of the viewer in the transaction at the heart of painting; and the belief systems that lie behind the business of creating and looking at paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is an exquisite personal account of the art and craft of making painted images today through the lens of \u003cem\u003e59 Paintings\u003c\/em\u003e by Paul Winstanley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47485735960812,"sku":"9781908970336","price":83.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781908970336-59-paintings.jpg?v=1775713791"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/paul-winstanley.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
