The Transhistorical Image: Philosophizing Art and Its History

by Paul Crowther

Book Overview

Paul Crowther seeks to establish a set of a priori conditions of pictorial art and, more generally, of visual art. He explores systematic alternatives and discusses ways of bringing recent modes of visual art (such as photomontage and digital image transformation) within their scope. Crowther's treatment of these important aesthetic questions is of interest to philosophers of art and art historians.
