A celebration of the richness of figurative painting over the last 100 years and a passionate critique of the accepted history of art in the 20th century. Figurative painting is due a reappraisal. In this passionately argued volume the distinguished writer and artist Timothy Hyman cuts a new path through the tangle of twentieth-century art. The World New Made 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. Structured 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.'
