  • Beyond Art

    de Dominic McIver Lopes ...
    Dominic McIver Lopes articulates and defends a 'buck passing theory of art', namely that a work of art is nothing but a work in one of the arts. Having traced philosophical interest in theories of art to a reaction to certain puzzle cases of avant-garde art, he argues that none of the theories that have dominated philosophy since the 1960s adequately copes with these works. Whereas these theories ... Leer más

  • What Drawing and Painting Really Mean

    The Phenomenology of Image and Gesture

    de Paul Crowther ...
    Series series Routledge Advances in Art and Visual Studies
    There are as many meanings to drawing and painting as there are cultural contexts for them to exist in. But this is not the end of the story. Drawings and paintings are made, and in their making embody unique meanings that transform our perception of space-time and sense of finitude. These meanings have not been addressed by art history or visual studies hitherto, and have only been considered ... Leer más

  • Concerning the Spiritual—and the Concrete—in Kandinsky’s Art

    de Lisa Florman ...

  • When the Machine Made Art

    The Troubled History of Computer Art

    de Grant D. Taylor ...
    Series series International Texts in Critical Media Aesthetics
    Considering how culturally indispensable digital technology is today, it is ironic that computer-generated art was attacked when it burst onto the scene in the early 1960s. In fact, no other twentieth-century art form has elicited such a negative and hostile response. When the Machine Made Art examines the cultural and critical response to computer art, or what we refer to today as digital art. ... Leer más
