Abstract

This work argues about painting’s pertinence or inappropriateness as a canonical art form before modernity’s social and political experiences. Departing from painting’s notorious attribution as a model of autonomous activity between subject and world in the midst of the Enlightenment culture, this analysis compiles artistic proposals from streams entitled “Bohemian-Duchampian” and “Constructivist-Soviet” that will result in concomitance and, sometimes, rivalry between painting and new art forms. Finally, the text indicates the striking historical traces of such debate by assimilating the paths of current artistic production.
