Abstract (en)

Explores the persistence of figuration in an age dominated by abstraction, focusing on American artists, late 1940s-1970s, as well as a few French and British artists. Book is based on a series of occasional pieces on art written by Paulson between 1977 and 1984, which have been revised and elaborated on in the present context.
