This volume consists of papers given to the Royal Institute of
Philos ophy Conference on 'Philosophy and the Visual Arts: Seeing
and Abstracting' given at the University of Bristol in September
1985. The contributors here come about equally from the disciplines
of Philosophy and Art History and for that reason the Conference
was hosted jointly by the Bristol University Departments of
Philosophy and History of Art. Other conferences sponsored by the
Royal Institute of Philosophy have been concerned with links
between Philosophy and related disciplines, but here, with the
generous support of South West Arts and with the enthusiastic
co-operation of the staff of the Arnolfini Gallery in Bristol we
were able to attempt even more in the way of bridge building; not
only were we able to hold some of our meetings in as possible to
the general the Gallery, thus making them as accessible public, but
we were also privileged in having our discussions supported by two
exhibitions of contemporary painting that together presented
contrasting aspects of the abstracting enterprise. One, featuring
works by Ian McKeever, and drawings and painting by Frank Auerbach,
some of which are discussed and illustrated in the present volume,
was about the painterly exploration of 'abstracting from' images in
nature and in painting itself. The other, curated by Waldemar
Januszczak, while showing some figurative works, was concerned with
the 'pure' power of colour perceived 'abstractly, in its own
right."
