Narrative + Painting
Issue 45:1 | Parnati–Kudlila / Autumn–Winter 2025
Editor: Una Rey
Among the first and most universal genres of visual art, narrative painting has long been a primary storytelling method. However, it has endured a critical environment over the previous half-century, from conceptualism to successive waves of new media and dematerialised art practices. In Narrative + Painting the writers-as-narrators tease out the aesthetic, cultural, historical and political narratives that have kept painting alive and alert to its surroundings, as if the end-of-painting myth is, well, a myth.
