Why does art matter to us, and what makes good art? Why is the role
of imagination so important in art? Illustrated with carefully
chosen color and black-and-white plates of examples from
Michelangelo to Matisse and Poussin to Jackson Pollock, "Revealing
Art" explores some of the most important questions we can ask about
art. Matthew Kieran clearly but forcefully asks how art inspires us
and disgusts us and whether artistic judgment is simply a matter of
taste, and if art can be immoral or obscene, should it be censored?
He brings such abstract issues to life with fascinating discussions
of individual paintings, photographs and sculptures, such as
Michelangelo's "Pieta," Andres Serrano's" Piss Christ" and Jackson
Pollock's "Summertime."
He also suggests some answers to problems that any one in an art
gallery or museum is likely to ask themselves: what is a beautiful
work of art, and can art really reveal something true about our own
nature?
"Revealing Art" is ideal for anyone interested in debates about art
today, or who has simply stood in front of a painting and felt
baffled.
