Summary: Figurative painting is due a reappraisal. From the early 1950s to the early 1980s, modern art and abstraction were almost synonymous, with figurative painters cast as 'backward children', conservative throwbacks and outdated survivors. In 'The World New Made,' Timothy Hyman argues that figuration never went away; abstraction was just one of the ways by which artists renewed pictorial language. 'The World New Made' is structured not as a general survey, but as an in-depth exploration of over 130 specific paintings, and accompanying artists' writings.
