Wwhen
critics
began
to
doubt
painting's
continued
significance
In
modern
art
during
the
1960s
and
19/0s,
the
notion
of
the
"death
of
painting"
became
popular.
Painting
is
still
a
viable
art
form,
it
is
crucial
to
remember
that.
Painting
continues
to
survive
and
develop
in
the
modern
art
world
even
if
other
media
including
installation,
performance,
and
computer
art
have
gained
popularity.
Painting's
Evolution
and
Survival
Painting
has
persevered
through
adopting
new
methods
and
approaches
and
adjusting
to
the
shifting
terrain
of
the
arts.
Through
experimenting
with
mediums,
subjects,
and
techniques,
artists
have
expanded
the
parameters
of
classical
painting.
To
produce
avant-garde
and
thought-provoking
pieces,
they
have
combined
aspects
of
conceptualism,
mixed
media,
and
abstraction.
Examples
of
Modern
Paintings
Painting's
enduring
relevance
has
been
greatly
enhanced
by
a
number
of
modern
artists.
Here
are
a
few
instances:
Gerhard
Richter:
Richter
pushes
the
limits
of
depiction
in
his
abstract
and
photorealistic
paintings.
He
investigates
the
possibilities
of
non-representational
painting
in
his
"Abstract
Painting"
series
(1986-2012).
Kara
Walker:
Walker
tackles
topics
of
power,
gender,
and
racism
in
her
silhouette
drawings.
Her
works
address
the
complexity
of
American
society,
such
as
"Gone:
An
Historical
Romance
of
a
Civil
War
as
It
Occurred
Between
the
Dusky
Thighs
of
One
Young
Negress
and
Her
Heart"
(1994).
Kehinde
Wiley:
Wiley
questions
conventional
ideas
of
representation
and
power
through
his
portraiture.
His
expansive
paintings
blend
historical
allusions
with
modern
themes,
as
"Napoleon
Leading
the
Army
over
the
Alps"
(2005).
The
Continued
Importance
of
Painting
There
are
various
reasons
why
painting
is
still
relevant
in
contemporary
art.
First
of
all,
it
gives
spectators
an
exclusive
and
tactile
experience
that
enables
them
to
interact
with
the
physicality
of
the
medium
and
the
artist's
process.
Second,
via
the
use
of
colour,
texture,
and
composition,
paintings
can
effectively
communicate
intricate
feelings,
stories,
and
ideas.
Finally
yet
importantly,
artists
can
incorporate
and reinterpret
the
rich
historical
and
cultural
backdrop
of
painting
into
their
creations.
In
conclusion,
painting
is
still
a
viable
medium
in
modern
art.
It
has
endured
by
accepting
innovation
and
adjusting
to
new
artistic
fads.
Painters
such
as
Kara
Walker,
Kehinde
Wiley,
and
Gerhard
Richter
have
done
a
great
deal
to
ensure
that
painting
remains
relevant
today.
They
have
shown
that
painting
is
still
an
important
and
developing
medium
in
the
world
of
modern
art
through
their
creative
methods.
