This book presents an engaging and sophisticated look at the
debates and ideas involved in the aesthetics of painting - part of
a major new series from Continuum's philosophy list."Aesthetics and
Painting" introduces and opens up current debates and ideas in the
aesthetics of painting. At the book's centre is an investigation of
the complex relationship between what a painting depicts and the
means by which it is depicted. The book looks at: how and why
pictorial representation can be distinguished from other forms of
representation; the relationship between the painted surface and
the depicted subject; the 'rules of representation' specific to
painting; abstract art and non-representational painting; painting
as an historically reflexive and self-critical practice; the most
recent technological and aesthetic developments and their
implications; and, the contemporary challenges to painting. A
sophisticated treatment of major ideas in art and philosophy,
"Aesthetics and Painting" remains highly readable throughout,
offering a clear and coherent account of the nature of painting as
an art form." The Continuum Aesthetics Series" looks at the
aesthetic questions and issues raised by all major art forms.
Stimulating, engaging and accessible, the series offers food for
thought not only for students of aesthetics, but also for anyone
with an interest in philosophy and the arts.
