Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hace más de dos décadas, Arthur C. Danto anunció que la llegada del fin del arte se había dado en los años sesenta; y fue precisamente tras esa declaración cuando se situó a la vanguardia en la crítica radical de la naturaleza del arte en nuestro tiempo. Esta obra presenta la primera reformulación a gran escala de esta original percepción y muestra cómo, tras el eclipse del expresionismo abstracto, el arte se ha desviado irrevocablemente del curso narrativo que Vasari definió para él en el Renacimiento.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic and provocative account of how art changed irrevocably with pop art and why traditional aesthetics can’t make sense of contemporary art A classic of art criticism and philosophy, After the End of Art continues to generate heated debate for its radical and famous assertion that art ended in the 1960s. Arthur Danto, a philosopher who was also one of the leading art critics of his time, argues that traditional notions of aesthetics no longer apply to contemporary art and that we need a philosophy of art criticism that can deal with perhaps the most perplexing feature of current art: that everything is possible. An insightful and entertaining exploration of art’s most important aesthetic and philosophical issues conducted by an acute observer of contemporary art, After the End of Art argues that, with the eclipse of abstract expressionism, art deviated irrevocably from the narrative course that Vasari helped define for it in the Renaissance. Moreover, Danto makes the case for a new type of criticism that can help us understand art in a posthistorical age where, for example, an artist can produce a work in the style of Rembrandt to create a visual pun, and where traditional theories cannot explain the difference between Andy Warhol’s Brillo Box and the product found in the grocery store. After the End of Art addresses art history, pop art, “people’s art,” the future role of museums, and the critical contributions of Clement Greenberg, whose aesthetics-based criticism helped a previous generation make sense of modernism. Tracing art history from a mimetic tradition (the idea that art was a progressively more adequate representation of reality) through the modern era of manifestos (when art was defined by the artist’s philosophy), Danto shows that it wasn’t until the invention of pop art that the historical understanding of the means and ends of art was nullified. Even modernist art, which tried to break with the past by questioning the ways in which art was produced, hinged on a narrative.

Download or read book El fin del arte written by Raquel Cascales Tornel and published by Universitat de València. This book was released on 2020-04-21 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro da cuenta de uno de los tópicos más controvertidos de la Estética contemporánea: el fin del arte. Para ello, se analizan las transformaciones que sufrió el arte y las teorías filosóficas que condujeron a considerar que podría tener un final. Hegel es referente imprescindible en este contexto pues elevó el arte a la más alta consideración, pero afirmó también que era ya un tema del pasado. Esta sentencia provocó innumerables interpretaciones que el libro recoge y sintetiza. De entre las contemporáneas, la que más divulgación ha alcanzado es la de Arthur Danto. Sin embargo, con frecuencia ha sido comprendida de manera parcial y por ello este libro la contextualiza dentro del desarrollo filosófico del autor, remarcando la coherencia de su pensamiento. El diálogo establecido entre ambos filósofos permite comprender cómo lo que termina es una comprensión sobre el arte nacida en la época moderna, y aporta algunas claves para entender mejor el arte de nuestros días.

Book excerpt: En El fin del arte Donald Kuspit sostiene que el arte ha llegado a su término porque ha perdido su carga estética. El arte ha sido sustituido por el «postarte», un término inventado por Alan Kaprow como una nueva categoría visual que eleva lo banal por encima de lo enigmático, lo escatológico por encima de lo sagrado, la inteligencia por encima de la creatividad. Remontando la desaparición de la experiencia estética hasta las obras y la teoría de Marcel Duchamp y Barnett Newman, Kuspit sostiene que la devaluación es inseparable del carácter entrópico del arte moderno y que el antiestético arte posmoderno constituye su fase final. A diferencia del primero, que expresaba el inconsciente humano universal, este último ha degenerado en una expresión de estrechos intereses ideológicos. Como reacción a la vacuidad y el estancamiento del postarte, Kuspit señala el futuro estético y humano que traen los Nuevos Viejos Maestros. Amplio e incisivo repaso del desarrollo del arte a lo largo del siglo XX, El fin del arte señala a las artes visuales el camino hacia el futuro.

Book Myth and Subversion in the Contemporary Novel

Download or read book Myth and Subversion in the Contemporary Novel written by José Manuel Losada Goya and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bilingual work identifies and explains the subversive rewriting of ancient, medieval and modern myths in contemporary novels. The book opens with two theoretical essays on the subject of subversive tendencies and myth reinvention in the contemporary novel. From there, it moves on to the analysis of essential texts. Firstly, classical myths in works by authors such as André Gide, Thomas Pynchon, Julio Cortázar, Italo Calvino or Christa Wolf (for instance, Theseus, Oedipus or Medea) are discussed. Then, myths of biblical origin – such as the Flood or the Golem – are revisited in the work of Giorgio Bassani, Julian Barnes and Cynthia Ozick. A further section is concerned with the place of modern myths (Faust, the ghost, Ophelia…) in the fiction of Günter Grass, Paul Auster, or Clara Janés. The contributors have also delved into the relationship between myth and art – especially in the discourse of contemporary advertising, painting and cinema – and myth’s intercultural dimensions: hybridity in the Latin American novels of Augusto Roa Bastos and Carlos Fuentes, and in the Hindu-themed novels of Bharati Mukherjee. This volume emerges from the careful selection of 37 essays out of over 200 which were put forward by outstanding scholars from 25 different countries for the Madrid International Conference on Myth and Subversion (March 2011). Este volumen bilingüe identifica y explica la práctica subversiva aplicada a los mitos antiguos, medievales y modernos en la novela contemporánea. Abren el libro dos estudios teóricos sobre la tendencia subversiva y la reinvención de mitos en la actualidad. Prosigue el análisis de diversos textos de primera importancia. En primer lugar se revisan los mitos clásicos en autores como André Gide, Thomas Pynchon, Julio Cortázar, Italo Calvino o Christa Wolf (p. ej., Teseo, Edipo, Medea). En segundo lugar, la reescritura de los mitos bíblicos según Giorgio Bassani, Julian Barnes o Cynthia Ozick (p. ej., el diluvio o el Golem). En tercer lugar, mitos modernos en la ficción de Günter Grass, Paul Auster o Clara Janés (p. ej., Fausto, el fantasma, Ofelia). El volumen presta igualmente atención a las relaciones entre mito y arte (su recurrencia en la publicidad, la pintura y el cine contemporáneos) y a la vertiente intercultural de los mitos: el mestizaje en la novela latinoamericana de Augusto Roa Bastos y Carlos Fuentes, o en la de temática hindú de Bharati Mukherjee. La compilación resulta de una exquisita selección de 37 textos entre los más de 200 propuestos para el Congreso Internacional Mito y Subversión (Madrid, marzo de 2011) por investigadores de prestigio procedentes de 25 países.

Download or read book Inverted Utopias written by Héctor Olea Galaviz and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the twentieth century, avant-garde artists from Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean created extraordinary and highly innovative paintings, sculptures, assemblages, mixed-media works, and installations. This innovative book presents more than 250 works by some seventy of these artists (including Gego, Joaquin Torres-Garcia, Xul Solar, and Jose Clemente Orozco) and artists' groups, along with interpretive essays by leading authorities and newly translated manifestoes and other theoretical documents written by the artists. Together the images and texts showcase the astonishing artistic achievements of the Latin American avant-garde. The book focuses on two decisive periods: the return from Europe in the 1920s of Latin American avant-garde pioneers; and the expansion of avant-garde activities throughout Latin America after World War II as artists expressed their independence from developments in Europe and the United States. As the authors explain, during these periods Latin American art was fueled by the belief that artistic creations could present a form of utopia - an inversion of the original premise that drove the European avant-garde - and serve as a model for

Book Creativity and Time  A Sociological Exploration

Download or read book Creativity and Time A Sociological Exploration written by Juan A. Roche Cárcel and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-15 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book defends that the pursuit of originality constitutes one of the most important characteristics of creativity, but that originality refers, etymologically, to both origin and originary. Hence, the book is structured into two parts, dedicated, respectively, to the creative categories of origin and the creative categories of originary. Within the former are creation myths, games – the origin of all cultural activity, the dialectic chaos-order, axial civilizations – the germ of our time, and the struggle between generations – a factor of social transformation, and, within the second, creative capitalism, creative work in the context of the global economy of risk and uncertainty, and representative democracy. However, these two concepts are not isolated, but deeply interrelated, in a way that explains how creative originality builds a temporal narrative. It has been dislocated in late modernity and, with it, creativity has been broken.

Book What is Beauty  A Multidisciplinary Approach to Aesthetic Experience

Download or read book What is Beauty A Multidisciplinary Approach to Aesthetic Experience written by Martino Rossi Monti and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11-11 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does art need to be beautiful? Can humour be beautiful? What is the relationship between beauty and mimetic behaviour? What does literature have to do with beauty? What are the limitations of neuroscientific approaches to beauty? Are the experience of beauty and the production of “art” confined to anatomically modern humans? Is the experience of beauty confined to humans at all? These are just some of the questions discussed in this volume. It gathers together authors from different areas of research, including philosophy, history of philosophy, history of ideas, cognitive biology, neuroscience, anthropology and paleoanthropology, in order to investigate some of the most debated aspects of the problem of beauty and aesthetic experience. The volume will appeal to both the general reader and the specialist in the humanities, social sciences and the natural sciences.
