Why are visual artworks experienced as having intrinsic
significance or normative depth? Why are some works of art better
able to manifest this significance than others? In this 2002 book
Paul Crowther argues that we can answer these questions only if we
have a full analytic definition of visual art. Crowther's approach
focuses on the pictorial image, broadly construed to include
abstract work and recent conceptually-based idioms. The
significance of art depends, however, essentially on the
transhistorical nature of the pictorial image, the way in which its
illuminative power is extended through historical transformation of
the relevant artistic medium. Crowther argues against fashionable
forms of cultural relativism, while at the same time showing why it
is important that an appreciation of the history of art is integral
to aesthetic judgment.
