This book offers the first complete examination of Foucault's
reflections on visual art, leading to new readings of his major
texts."Foucault's Philosophy of Art: A Genealogy of Modernity"
tells the story of how art shed the tasks with which it had
traditionally been charged in order to become modern. Joseph J.
Tanke offers the first complete examination of Michel Foucault's
reflections on visual art, tracing his thought as it engages with
the work of visual artists from the seventeenth century to the
contemporary period.The book offers a concise and accessible
introduction to Foucault's frequently anthologized, but rarely
understood, analysis of Diego Velazquez's "Las Meninas" and Rene
Magritte's "Ceci n'est pas une pipe". On the basis of unpublished
lecture courses and several un-translated analysis of visual art,
Tanke reveals the uniquely genealogical character of Foucault's
writings on visual culture, allowing for new readings of his major
texts in the context of contemporary Continental philosophy,
aesthetic and cultural theory. Ultimately Tanke demonstrates how
Foucault provides philosophy and contemporary criticism with the
means for determining a conception of modern art." The Philosophy,
Aesthetics and Cultural Theory" series examines the encounter
between contemporary Continental philosophy and aesthetic and
cultural theory. Each book in the series explores an exciting new
direction in philosophical aesthetics or cultural theory,
identifying the most important and pressing issues in Continental
philosophy today.
