Boldly developing the central traditions of American modernist
abstraction, Lawrence Carroll's paintings engage with a fundamental
issue of aesthetic theory, the nature of the medium of painting, in
highly original, frequently extraordinarily successful ways.
Aesthetic Theory, Abstract Art, and Lawrence Carroll explains how
he understands the medium of painting; shows what his art says
about the identity of painting as an art; discusses the place of
his paintings in the development of abstraction; and, finally,
offers an interpretation of his art. The first monograph devoted to
him, this philosophical commentary employs the resources of
analytic aesthetics. Art historians trace the development of art,
explaining how what came earlier yields to what comes later. Taking
for granted that the artifacts they describe are artworks, art
historians place them within the history of art. Philosophical art
writers define art, explain why it has a history and identify its
meaning. Pursuing that goal, Aesthetic Theory, Abstract Art, and
Lawrence Carroll roams freely across art history, focused at some
points on the story of old master painting and sometimes on the
history of modernism, but looking also to contemporary art, in
order to provide the fullest possible philosophical perspective on
Carroll's work.
