This volume's unifying theme is the question: Is a concept of
development relevant to art? Bringing together contributions from
the perspectives of philosophical aesthetics, psychoanalysis,
architecture and design, and the practicing artist, as well as
developmental theory in psychology, this volume provides a unique
assembly of voices from different disciplines. The twelve chapters
span artistic production in childhood, transformations in the work
of the individual artist, and historical changes in art, thus
establishing a broad canvas for examining how concepts of
development are used in relation to the arts.
The contributors consider specific phenomena and questions against
the background of theoretical issues, taking markedly different
views on whether "change" in artistic work can be aptly
characterized as "development" and, if so, what modulations of the
concept may be required in light of accompanying assumptions and
implications. Given the nature of this discourse, this richly
illustrated book should lead to a radical rethinking among those
who apply developmental concepts to artistic phenomena and
aesthetic movements, and to reconsideration of the role of art in
optimal human development within the individual and within social
orders.
