Guillermo Kuitca: The “Death of Painting” Painting as a Resistance Movement

2 Jul 2012

What I believe makes painting so interesting and such a battleground is the mere fact that it has been declared dead; I cannot see another medium in which one can explore with such an incredible freedom. It is because the struggle occurs inside, it is very private. I think that the measure of the painting relies on what you can accomplish in that private moment. I am not so sure if you can achieve that in other mediums. - Guillermo Kuitca
