Celebrating summer with 'Landscape Painting Now'

"Untitled" (2016) by Etel Adnan is reproduced from Landscape Painting Now: From Pop Abstraction to New Romanticism, published by D.A.P. Edited by Todd Bradway with text by Barry Schwabsky, alongside contributions from Susan A. Van Scoy, Robert R. Shane and Louise Sørensen, this is the book on contemporary landscape painting, featuring work by more than 80 artists, from nonagenarians like Adnan to established figures such as David Hockney, Mamma Andersson and Peter Doig, to rising stars like Jordan Nassar and Shara Hughes. "For Adnan," Schwabsky writes, "her mountain may be a specific empirical place that she has contemplated over much of her life, but for viewers of the painting it is a kind of archetype of MOUNTAIN, an idea sensuously embodied—or as the artist's partner Simone Fattal once put it, 'the ever-revealing mystery, the ongoing manifestation.'"
