In Why a painting works, Jurriaan Benschop examines the multiform painting of our time. He introduces the work of dozens of painters, discusses the themes they raise and always asks the question: why does this painting work? This brings him to visible aspects, such as the visual motif and the way of painting, as well as to what lies invisible behind the canvas: the motives, the worldview and the cultural background of the artist.
Why a painting works is also about how we speak and write about art. In a clear, committed and contemplative style, Benschop evokes the diverse palette of painting, links it to current themes and helps to understand contemporary art. He explains en passant why visiting a museum or studio can be so fulfilling.
