Abstract

Why does art matter to us, and what makes it good? Why is the role of imagination so important in art? Illustrated with carefully chosen colour and black-and-white plates of examples from Michelangelo to Matisse and Poussin to Pollock, Revealing Art takes us on a compelling and provocative journey. Kieran explores some of the most important questions we can ask ourselves about art: how can art inspire us or disgust us? Is artistic judgement simply a matter of taste? Can art be immoral or obscene, and should it be censored?

Abstract

Transfigurements develops a framework for thinking about art through innovative readings of some of the most important philosophical writing on the subject by Kant, Hegel, and Heidegger. Sallis exposes new layers in their texts and theories while also marking their limits. By doing so, his aim is to show that philosophy needs to attend to art directly. Consequently, Sallis also addresses a wide range of works of art, including paintings by Raphael, Monet, and Klee; Shakespeare's comedies; and the music of Beethoven, Schubert, Mahler, and Tan Dun. Through these interpretations, he put

Abstract

From the 1970s to the early-1990s, the discourse surrounding aesthetics disappeared from the study of art history, theory and cultural studies. Claims for the aesthetic value of art-works were thought of as elitist and politically regressive. This work considers this aesthetics, demonstrating its cross-disciplinary relevance.

Abstract

In this brilliantly insightful and profound study, in which Carla Gottlieb analyzes contemporary art and artists from 1945 to the present, the following basic questions are covered: in which direction is art heading, why is that direction being taken, what is the nature of its achievements, and to what extent do previous achievements color this nature. Drawing extensively on the statements made by modern artists and providing a detailed discussion of a relatively few examples, Dr. Gottlieb gives her analyses in these main sections: A Prelude with Chairs; Why Create? Why Art?; The Democratization of the Art Object; Developments in Content; Uproar in Form; Storming the Barriers: The Aesthetics of the Merger; The Desanctification of the Artist and the Desacralization of the Art Object; The Disavowal of the Art Object; Attempt at a Trial Balance.

Abstract

What is conceptual art? Is it really a kind of art in its own right? Is it clever - or too clever?Of all the different art forms it is perhaps conceptual art which at once fascinates and infuriates the most. In this much-needed book Peter Goldie and Elisabeth Schellekens demystify conceptual art using the sharp tools of philosophy. They explain how conceptual art is driven by ideas rather than the manipulation of paint and physical materials; how it challenges the very basis of what we can know about art, as well as our received ideas of beauty; and why conceptual art requires us to

Abstract

La tradition occidentale tend à assimiler l'art et la valeur esthétique. La beauté serait la finalité essentielle de l'art. Or, c'est une conception réductrice : la valeur esthétique n'a pas le monopole des valeurs engagées dans la création, la circulation et la réception des oeuvres d'art. Dans la valeur que nous accordons à une oeuvre, l'authenticité, l'autonomie, la célébrité, la cherté, la moralité, l'originalité, la pérennité, le plaisir, la rareté, la responsabilité, la significativité, le travail, l'universalité, la virtuosité... jouent souvent un rôle aussi important que l'attrait esthétique. Cet ouvrage, qui réunit des philosophes, des historiens et historiens d'art, des littéraires, des musicologues, des anthropologues et des sociologues, propose pour la première fois une cartographie de ces valeurs autres qu'esthétiques qui interviennent dans l'évaluation artistique, qu'elle soit profane ou savante. Les analyses réunies ici n'ont donc pas pour objet l'art lui-même, ni les oeuvres. Elles n'étudient pas non plus la valeur de l'art en lui-même ou par rapport à d'autres activités humaines. Elles portent sur les attentes axiologiques projetées sur le monde de l'art et différemment déclinées selon les arts, le contexte historique et culturel, et la position sociale des individus ou des groupes qui en sont les porteurs.
