What can philosophy reveal about painting and how might it deepen
our understanding of this enduring art form? Philosophy of Painting
investigates the complex relationship between the painted surface
and the depicted subject, opening up current debates to address
questions concerning the historicality of art. Embracing
contemporary painting, it examines topics such as the post-medium
condition and the digital divide, and the work of artists such as
Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, Amy Sillman and Katharina Grosse.
Illustrated with 24 colour plates and highly readable throughout,
Philosophy of Painting provides a philosophically rigorous defence
of the relevance of painting in the 21st century, making an
original contribution to the major ideas informing painting as an
art. Here is a clear and coherent account of the contemporary
significance of painting and the pressures and possibilities that
distinguish it from other art forms.
