Abstract:
Philosophy of art is traditionally concerned with the definition, appreciation and value of art. Through a close examination of art from recent centuries, Art and Phenomenology is one of the first books to explore visual art as a mode of experiencing the word itself, showing how, in the words of Merleau-Ponty, "Painting does not imitate the world, but is a world of its own". Including an extensive selection of full colour reproductions, Art and Phenomenology is essential reading for anyone interested in Phenomenology, aesthetics, and visual culture.
