James Hyde

James Hyde is a practicing painter who has worked in New York City since the late 1970s. His recent book, The Trouble with Space in Painting: A Critical History (Bloomsbury Academic, 2026), is the first critical study of “pictorial space” as a historical construction. Hyde’s paintings are held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, Brooklyn Museum, Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C., Museo Cantonale d’Arte in Lugano, Switzerland, and Fonds National d’Art Contemporain (FNAC). He has exhibited widely in the United States and Europe.
