Sinopsis

This book re-examines what has been arguably the most influential development in the history of contemporary painting - the use and translation of photographic imagery.

Richly illustrated with over 100 paintings by 22 artists whose work draws upon varied photographic sources - from amateur snapshots to news and magazine pictures - this book explores how the significance and content of an image changes dramatically when it is translated into a different medium.
