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.
