Philosophy Illustrated
Philosophy Illustrated David Carrier (bio) Words are the medium of philosophy, and images the basis for visual artworks. But sometimes it happens that philosophical theorizing can be illustrated in images. And then the cross-over between these two normally distinct forms of representations raises fascinating issues. Thoughtful Images: Illustrating Philosophy through Art, the first book to study these illustrations of philosophy systematically, st…

Philosophical Skepticism as the Subject of Art
The artwork of Maria Bussmann, a trained academic German philosopher and a significant visual artist, provides an ideal test case for a philosophical study of visual art. Bussmann has internalized the relationship between art and philosophy. In this exploration of the history of German aesthetics through Bussmann's work, David Carrier places the philosophical tradition in the context of contemporary visual culture. Each chapter focuses on the arg…
A Philosophy of Visual Metaphor in Contemporary Art
Metaphor, which allows us to talk about things by comparing them to other things, is one of the most ubiquitous and adaptable features of language and thought. It allows us to clarify meaning, yet also evaluate and transform the ways we think, create and act. While we are alert to metaphor in spoken or written texts, it has, within the visual arts, been critically overlooked. Taking into consideration how metaphors are inventively embodied in the…
Modern Art & the Remaking of Human Disposition
A Puzzle for Readers of Arthur Danto's Aesthetic Theory
Sometimes theories of art are considered in isolation from broader intellectual concerns. One strength of Arthur Danto's much-discussed aesthetics lies in its intimate relationship with his philosophical system. The definition of art is linked to theories of action, knowledge and historiography. That analysis is summarized in his book Connections to the World: The Basic Concepts of Philosophy, which presents a simple triangular diagram: subject/r…

History Painting and Its Changing Subjects
Traditional European history painting showed scenes from scripture or Greco-Roman history. These were the most important paintings because they showed the most important subjects. The seventeenth-century art of Nicolas Poussin was a significant model for this tradition. In the late eighteenth century, however, artists began to present contemporary subjects in history paintings. In an influential essay published in 1938, Edgar Wind argued that it …

Chinese Art
When encountering something unfamiliar, it is natural to describe and understand it by reference to what is familiar. Commentary on Chinese landscape painting usually relies heavily upon analogies with Western art. James Elkins, concerned to understand the implications of this procedure, asks whether in seeing and writing about this art we ever can escape our Western perspectives. His problem is not just that he himself does not know Chinese. Eve…

Elective Affinities and Their Philosophy
Elective Affinities: Musical Essays on the History of Aesthetic Theory collects a selection of Lydia Goehr's recent essays. In them she traces "a history of attraction and reaction ... of music to philosophy, drama, birdsong, crime, film, and nationhood" (ix). Goehr examines the ways that philosophers, the ideas that they present, and works of art display "elective affinities". Her procedure is like that of an art historian who presents parallel …

The Political Art of Jacques‐Louis David and his Modern‐Day American Successors
Until relatively recently, Jacques‐Louis David was a famous, relatively well‐understood painter. Thanks to Thomas Crow, and a number of recent historians, his art now has come to seem much more complex. According to these writers, David's pre‐Revolutionary paintings make subtle comments on French politics of the Revolutionary period. I demonstrate that this way of thinking cannot be understood without acknowledging the intense desire of recent Am…

The Aesthete in Pittsburgh
There is a great deal of public art in Pittsburgh. Surveying some examples of this public sculpture suggests some general lessons about the role of such art. Art in public spaces needs to be accessible to the public. One way to make it so is to present local history, commemorating local sports heroes, politicians or artists. Public art also needs to be placed in a way that is sensitive to local history. Most public art in Pittsburgh is not succes…

Introduction
In Bielefeld, Germany in April, 1997 an author conference was devoted to Arthur C. Danto's 1995 Mellon Lectures After the End of Art: Contemporary Art and the Pale of History (Princeton,1997). This essay provides an introduction to seven essays given at that conference and expanded for this Theme Issue of History and Theory. Danto presented his view of the nature of art in The Transfiguration of the Commonplace(1981). He then added in the Mellon …

The Display of Art
An historical perspective on the changing ways that art has been displayed teaches us something about present-day art. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the ‘cabinet of curiosities’ mixed artworks with objects which today would belong in a museum of natural history or a museum of the history of science. In the eighteenth-century French Salon, visual artworks were displayed in ways that led to the creation of a new form of writing, art c…

Piero della Francesca and His Interpreters
Burke and Sartre describe the French Revolution differently; F. R. Leavis and Frederic Jameson analyze Lord Jim differently. In history, as in literary criticism, when interpreters thus disagree we ask how it is possible for divergent interpretations both to be true to the facts and genuinely to conflict. Here there are two problems. 1) Since the facts often are in dispute, are the same facts appealed to in different accounts? 2) Do such argument…

On the Depiction of Figurative Representational Pictures within Pictures
A special kind of figurative representational picture is a picture containing a depiction of a picture. Using a number of examples, the author considers both the historical and philosophical problems raised by such pictures. He argues that pictures within pictures are best considered ‘quoted’ pictures, and, drawing an analogy with verbal quotations, he offers some suggestions about how to analyze them. He suggests that works by a number of painte…

Perspective as a Convention
Nelson Goodman’s claim that the method of geometric perspective is a convention is contrasted with E. H. Gombrich’s view that the method possesses objective validity. The status of those compensations made when viewing perspective pictures from ‘incorrect’ positions is discussed in relation to Gombrich’s distinction between the ‘how’ and ‘what’ of visual perception. After arguing that accounts of compensation cannot distinguish between perspectiv…

Part II
One central question for a theorist writing about contemporary visual art is what literary style to adopt in describing that work. Contrasting Clement Greenberg’s art history narrative to the more recent writings of Joseph Masheck, the author indicates how the tradition of Byzantine aesthetics and a study of icons provide a novel framework for the discussion of modern abstract painting. Refusing to describe these recent works as the latest stage …
On the Possibility of Aesthetic Atheism
What can we learn about art by analyzing the art market? The author offers a skeptical argument. Judgements of aesthetic value change with time. Since those changes reflect market value, perhaps we can show that aesthetic value is market value. The critic, we would then believe, seeks to persuade us that art has aesthetic value, for our beliefs about art’s value depend upon a consensus established in part by the critic. Recently some critics and …

Rudolf Arnheim’s essay “To the Rescue of Art” argues that David Carrier’s discussion of ‘aesthetic atheism’ can be criticized by appeal to the vocabulary of gestalt psychology. In reply, Carrier explains the strengths and limitations of Arnheim’s approach to aesthetics and argues that Arnheim’s work does not effectively rescue art. Drawing on work discussed recently in Leonardo and further developing his earlier arguments, Carrier describes in a …
