What can philosophy reveal about painting and how might it deepen our understanding of this enduring art form? Philosophy of Painting investigates the complex relationship between the painted surface and the depicted subject, opening up current debates to address questions concerning the historicality of art. Embracing contemporary painting, it examines topics such as the post-medium condition and the digital divide, and the work of artists such as Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, Amy Sillman and Katharina Grosse. Illustrated with 24 colour plates and highly readable throughout, Philosophy of Painting provides a philosophically rigorous defence of the relevance of painting in the 21st century, making an original contribution to the major ideas informing painting as an art. Here is a clear and coherent account of the contemporary significance of painting and the pressures and possibilities that distinguish it from other art forms.

Recensioner i media

This book will appeal to both experts and non-experts. It deftly combines philosophical insight and rigour with art historical substance and detail. I cant think of a better introduction to the philosophy of painting. * Hans Maes, Senior Lecturer History and Philosophy of Art, University of Kent, UK * Philosophy of Painting fills an important void. Jason Gaiger shows why it's important to think about paintings not only newer media such as photography or films and what contemporary paintings offer in our own time. Beautifully and clearly written a gem that brings theoretical issues to life. * Sonia Sedivy, Professor and Chair, Department of Philosophy, University of Toronto, Canada *
