Slow Painting roundly rebuts the notion that painting has been made obsolete by lens-based media or digital developments. On the contrary, Helen Westgeest argues for painting's relevance as a contemporary medium that is flexible, vibrantly political and endlessly renewing. This masterful, accessible book provides a rallying point for discussions of painting in the twenty-first century. * Lucy Soutter, author of Why Art Photography? (2013) *
