Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). -- Slightly rubbed dustjacket, otherwise in very good condition. -- Embodied Meanings demonstrates once again the astonishing range of Arthur C. Danto's interest in art and the depth of his response to it. In forty-one short essays, taken primarily from his column in The Nation, Danto explores the work of today's artists - Jenny Holzer. Tim Rollins + K.O.S. Martin Puryear - and provides new insights into the work of the masters - Van Dyck, Titian, Malevich, Picasso - as well as weighing in with his views on some of the most important shows of the decade - the High & Low exhibition at MoMA, the Matisse retrospective, and two recent W hitney biennials. And. in five longer pieces, he meditates on a number of crucial issues in art today, including the notion of quality, the relationship of the museum to the larger, multicultural community, and the difference between art and aesthetics. -- A rich bouillon of philosophy, art history, and cultural criticism, marked by Danto's inimitable clarity and with Embodied Meanings confirms its author as America's most engaging writer on art today.
