The term "the end of painting" appears in the descriptions of radical art movements in painting that express the nihilistic stance towards the progress of artistic creation. Such an attitude was stimulated by the disappearance of the utopian dimension of art, which was meant to transform the social relations and the position of man towards himself, in a time marked by the deaths of political ideologies and the strengthening of global capitalism.
