spelling oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/8202 The gloaming : narrative in contemporary painting Nowicki, Andrzej Jan MacKenny, Virginia Fine Arts Also available online. The key to understanding my project lies in the assumption that the task of representation for contemporary painting is different from that of newer media such as photography and film. I see the role of painting as being the representation of the past; an engagement with history. Many of the painters who have inspired my way of seeing are artists who re-imagined the role of pre-modernist narrative painting and re-asserted it in contemporary practice. Contemporary narrative painting occupies a different role from that of its pre-modernist predecessors, such as Romantic painting. It also occupies a different role in relation to dominant narrative media of photography and film. 2014-10-06T12:10:49Z 2014-10-06T12:10:49Z 2007 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/8202 eng application/pdf Michaelis School of Fine Art Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
