Description
Graham Harman's Art and Objects presents a provocative argument that aesthetics is at the heart of philosophy. By challenging traditional notions of how we engage with objects, Harman reveals new insights into debates in aesthetic theory and art history.
The book offers a fresh perspective on key criticisms of formalist approaches to art, arguing instead for the importance of pictorial content and the inherent theatricality of every artwork. This shift has significant implications for our understanding of art criticism and art history, with notable figures such as the surrealists gaining renewed significance.
This major work will be of great interest to scholars and students of philosophy, aesthetics, art history, and cultural theory, offering a new periodization of modern philosophy and challenging prevailing notions of philosophical "immanence".
