One of the twentieth century’s most influential texts on
philosophical aesthetics Painting as an Art is acclaimed
philosopher Richard Wollheim’s encompassing vision of how to view
art. Transcending the traditional boundaries of art history,
Wollheim draws on his three great passions—philosophy,
psychology, and art—to present an illuminating theory of the very
experience of art. He shows how to unlock the meaning of a painting
by retrieving—almost reenacting—the creative activity that
produced it. In order to fully appreciate a work of art, Wollheim
argues, critics must bring a much richer conception of human
psychology than they have in the past. This classic book points the
way to discovering what is most profound and subtle about paintings
by major artists such as Titian, Bellini, and de Kooning.
