Aesthetics and Painting introduces and opens up current debates and
ideas in the aesthetics of painting. At the book's center is an
investigation of the complex relationship between what a painting
depicts and the means by which it is depicted. The book looks at: how
and why painting may be distinguished from other art forms; the
relationship between the painted surface and the depicted subject; the
"rules of representation" specific to painting; abstract art and
nonrepresentational painting; the most recent technological and
aesthetic developments and their implications; the role of the
artist-and that of the spectator. A sophisticated treatment of major
ideas in art and philosophy, Aesthetics and Painting remains highly
readable throughout, offering a clear and coherent account of the
nature of painting as an art form.
