This is a compelling and lavishly illustrated book which assesses the rise of figure painting. This work features a concise history of the genre and biographies of all the featured artists. It focuses on artists who place both painting and the figure at the heart of their practice, with analysis in accessible language that will appeal as much to the general public as to the art world.
