Books By Craig G. Staff - Author

Dr. Craig Staff is currently Reader in Fine Art at the University of Northampton, where he has worked since 2003, having completed his Ph.D. in Fine Art (Painting) at Nottingham Trent University and his MFA (Distinction) at the University of Ulster. In addition to having published on the intellectual histories of modernism, the broad focus of his recent research has considered how time is written into the work of art. His study Retroactivity and Contemporary Art, published in 2018 by Bloomsbury, considers contemporary art's relationship with both history and historical materials. His next monograph, forthcoming on Intellect, seeks to examine the notion, following Jean-François Lyotard, that paintings function as 'sites of time'.
