Abstract:
"Non-Conceptual-Conceptual Painting is about re-evaluating the avant-garde’s response to traditional painting. Focusing specifically on Clement Greenberg and his theories on pure painting, this thesis breaks down Greenberg’s formula and reintroduces his ideas in a conceptual format. Greenberg argued that pure painting has to do with the surface of the canvas or how the paint is applied; I disagree. Pure painting is about being."
