I přesto, že se zabývá i jinými uměleckými projevy, mluví se o Barrym Schwabském jako o kritikovi současné malby. Výběr jeho textů z přelomu tisíciletí zahrnuje meditace o širším kontextu současné malby spolu s úvahami o díle známých malířů jako jsou Nicole Eisenman, Dana Schutz nebo Bernard Frize a další.

In The Observer Effect: On Contemporary Painting, poet and critic Barry Schwabsky looks at the different directions that painting has taken since the turn of the millennium. He deflates the twentieth-century belief that abstraction and figuration in painting are dichotomous. Instead, Schwabsky argues, they are methods of asking or answering the questions: What is painting? What can painting become in an observer’s encounter with it? This wide-ranging selection of texts emphasizes the coextensive work the viewer brings to painting alongside the artist—the construction of form and meaning.
