Defining Art, Creating the Canon: Artistic Value in an Era of Doubt
Crowther, Paul (National University of Ireland Galway)
What is art? Why should we value it? Traditional answers have emphasized aesthetic form. This book attempts to restore the mimetic definition of art on the basis of factors which traditional answers neglect, namely the conceptual link between art's aesthetic value and 'non-exhibited' epistemological and historical relations.
