Artistic Visions and the Promise of Beauty: Cross-Cultural Perspectives de Kathleen M. Higgins

Artistic Visions and the Promise of Beauty: Cross-Cultural Perspectives: Sophia Studies in Cross-cultural Philosophy of Traditions and Cultures, cartea 16

Editat de Kathleen M. Higgins, Shakti Maira, Sonia Sikka
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 mar 2017
This volume examines the motives behind rejections of beauty often found within contemporary art practice, where much critically acclaimed art is deliberately ugly and alienating. It reflects on the nature and value of beauty, asking whether beauty still has a future in art and what role it can play in our lives generally. The volume discusses the possible “end of art,” what art is, and the relation between art and beauty beyond their historically Western horizons to include perspectives from Asia. 
The individual chapters address a number of interrelated issues, including: art, beauty and the sacred; beauty as a source of joy and consolation; beauty as a bridge between the natural and the human; beauty and the human form; the role of curatorial practice in defining art; order and creativity; and the distinction between art and craft. The volume offers a valuable addition to cross-cultural dialogue and, in particular, to the sparse literature on art and beauty in comparative context. It demonstrates the relevance of the rich tradition of Asian aesthetics and the vibrant practices of contemporary art in Asia to Western discussions about the future of art and the role of beauty.
