This book advances an enactivist theory of aesthetics through the
study of inscrutable artworks that challenge us to think because we
do not know what to think about them. John M. Carvalho presents
detailed analyses a four artworks that share this unique
characteristic: Francis Bacon's Study After Velazquez's Portrait of
Pope Innocent X (1953), the photographs of Duane Michals, based on
a retrospective of his work, Storyteller, at the Carnegie Museum of
Art (2014), Etant donnes (1968) by Marcel Duchamp, and Jean-Luc
Godard's 1963 film Le Mepris (released in the United States as
Contempt). Carvalho argues against the application of theory to
derive appreciation or meaning from these artistic works. Rather,
each study enacts an embodied cognitive engagement with the
specific artworks intended to demonstrate the value of thinking
about artworks that might be extended to our engagement with the
world in general. This thinking happens, as these studies show,
when we trust our embodied skills and their guide to what artworks
and the world around us afford for the activation and refinement of
those skills. Thinking with Images will be of interest to scholars
working in the philosophy of art and philosophical aesthetics, as
well as art historians concerned with the meaning and value of
contemporary art.
