The Contemporary Artistic Deconstruction—and Reconstruction—of Brush and Ink Painting

Volume 2, Number 2, June 2003
by Britta Erickson


Article Description

This paper concerns artists acting on—or reacting to—ink painting largely from outside the tradition. They adopt elements of this legacy to suit their own purposes, creating new kinds of art. The fallout from such radical practice includes the highlighting of distinct aspects of ink painting convention.
