The American art critic Arthur Danto (1924-2013) spent his entire
life in pursuit of the essence of art. Influenced by Nietzsche,
Hegel, and Schopenhauer, he concerned himself with issues related
to representation theory, coined the term "art world," and posited
the end of traditional art. One of the art philosopher's primary
interests was the New York School-Abstract Expressionism. He
considered the highly esteemed oeuvre of his friend Sean Scully to
be its continuation and further development. "Scully's historical
importance lies in the way he has brought the great achievement of
Abstract Expressionist painting into the contemporary moment."
Danto devoted a series of essays to the abstract stripe paintings
by the Irish artist (*1945 in Dublin). The bibliophile publication
assembles Danto's essays on Scully's body of work for the time in
one volume, and combines them with select illustrations-paintings,
photographs, and drawings by the painter.
