In The Conspiracy of Modern Art the Brazilian critic and art-historian Luiz Renato Martins presents a new account of modern art from David to Abstract Expressionism. The once vibrant debate on these touchstones of modernism has gone stale. Viewed from the Sao Paulo megalopolis the art of Paris and New York - embodying Revolution, Thermidor, Bonapartistm and Bourgeois ‘Triumph' - once more pulsates in tragic key. Equally attentive to form and politics, Martins invites us to look again at familiar pictures. In the process, modern art appears in a new light. These essays, largely unknown to an English-speaking audience, may be the most important contribution to the account of modern painting since the important debates of the 1980s.

Painting has often been declared dead since the 1960s and yet it refuses to die. Even the status and continued legitimacy of the medium has been repeatedly placed in question. As such, painting has had to continually redefine its own parameters and re-negotiate for itself a critical position within a broader, more discursive set of discourses. Taking the American Clement Greenberg's 'Modernist Painting' as a point of departure, After Modernist Painting will be both a historical survey and a critical re-evaluation of the contested and contingent nature of the medium of painting over the last 50.

El arte naif se hizo popular por primera vez a finales del siglo diecinueve. Hasta ese momento, esta forma de expresión creada por artistas sin formación y caracterizados por su espontaneidad y simplicidad contaba con poco reconocimiento entre los artistas profesionales y los críticos de arte. Influenciada por las artes primitivas, la pintura naif se caracteriza por la fluidez de sus líneas, por su vivacidad y sus colores alegres, así como por sus formas más bien sencillas, claramente definidas.El arte naif está representado por artistas como Henri Rousseau, Séraphine de Senlis, André Bauchant
