Patrick De Rynck is the author of two successful and frequently translated volumes in Ludion's Understanding Painting series. In his latest book, The Final Painting, he explores world-famous artists and the works they painted at the end of their lives. In the recent years there has been a marked increase in the attention paid to the late and final works of renowned painters, which has led to surprising discoveries and a reappraisal of their late oeuvres. In the video above, De Rynck explains how we can look at the late work of 30 famous artists from a new, nuanced perspective.
