Art as worldmaking is a response to Alex Potts's provocative 2013
book Experiments in modern realism. Twenty essays by leading
scholars test Potts's recasting of realism through examinations of
art produced in different media and periods, ranging from
eighth-century Chinese garden aesthetics to video work by the
contemporary Russian collective Radek Community. While the book
does not neglect avatars of pictorial realism such as Menzel and
Eakins, or the question of nineteenth-century realism's historical
antecedents, it is contemporary in orientation in that many
contributors are particularly concerned with the questions that
sculpture, photography and non-traditional media pose for realism
as an aesthetic norm. It will be essential reading for students of
art history concerned with art's truth value or more broadly with
conceptual problems of representation and the intersections of art
and politics. -- .
