In today's art world many strange, even shocking, things qualify as
art. In this Very Short Introduction Cynthia Freeland explains why
innovation and controversy are valued in the arts, weaving together
philosophy and art theory with many fascinating examples. She
discusses blood, beauty, culture, money, museums, sex, and
politics, clarifying contemporary and historical accounts of the
nature, function, and interpretation of the arts. Freeland also
propels us into the future by surveying cutting-edge web sites,
alongside the latest research on the brain's role in perceiving
art. This clear, provocative book engages with the big debates
surrounding our responses to art and is an invaluable introduction
to anyone interested in thinking about art. ABOUT THE SERIES: The

contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These
pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new
subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis,
