Journal of Contemporary Painting responds to the territory and practice of contemporary painting in its broadest sense, viewing painting as a context for discussion, exploring its sphere of history and influence, rather than as a medium specific debate.
This special issue focuses on the work of and growing interest in Simon Hantaï. The issue aims to give a primarily non-french audience a sense of the Hantaï's work development from the early 1960s until the beginning of his 'silence' in 1982.
In this issue articles include:
