In this passionately argued volume, the distinguished writer and artist Timothy Hyman cuts a new path through the tangle of twentieth-century art. \u003cem\u003eThe World New Made\u003c\/em\u003e explores the work of more than fifty individual painters, presenting a collective 'Resistance' who together offer a human-centred alternative to the dominance of the Abstract or the Conceptual in conventional narratives of modern art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStructured not as a survey but as in-depth studies of more than 130 specific artworks, this lavishly illustrated book brings these often marginalized artists centre-stage: not just Alice Neel and Balthus, Max Beckmann and Frida Kahlo, but also Marsden Hartley and Charlotte Salomon, Bhupen Khakhar, and Jacob Lawrence. A rich cast is brought to life, partly through their own writings. As the author argues, 'All across the world, isolated artists found new idioms for human-centred painting in the midst of modern life.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47363226796268,"sku":"9780500296530","price":60.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/2786163482366.jpg?v=1772918802","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-world-new-made-by-timothy-hyman-9780500296530","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
