Signifying Art - Welish, Marjorie (Pratt Institute, New York)

This book, first published in 1999, studies the work of a generation of 'respondents' to the New York School, including Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns and Cy Twombly, who reintroduced pictorialism and verbal content in their paintings and assemblages. Welish offers a reevaluation of the major trends and production of post-war American painting.
