Saul Nelson is Junior Research Fellow in the History of Art at Fitzwilliam College, University of Cambridge.
“Nelson writes against the modernist and postmodernist tropes of break, breakthrough, and radiant new light. The result is a gravely beautiful reimagining of well-known and less well-known art, strung along a tensile argument that flows from first page to last.”—Alexander Nemerov, author of Fierce Poise: Helen Frankenthaler and 1950s New York “A genuinely intelligent and substantial study, Never Ending offers a fresh perspective on tendencies in postwar ‘modernist’ painting that conventional wisdom has overlooked.”—Alex Potts, author of Experiments in Modern Realism: World Making in Postwar European and American Art
