Reviews"Danto's view is an important corrective to naive formalism as well as to the recent 'institutional analysis of art'.... The magnitude of the issues Mr. Danto's book raises is a mark of the book's importance." -- The New York Times Book Review, "Danto's critical pieces -- witty and urbane essays -- are uniformly a joy to read." -- The Journal of Philosophy, "To read Danto on any topic in philosophical aesthetics is invariably to emerge with one's sense of that topic enlarged." -- Philosophy and Literature, "[Danto is] a fluent writer and cogent theoretician... A coherent treatise both accessible to critically aware general readers and of value to students and scholars of philosophy and art." -- Library Journal

SynopsisThis acclaimed work is of interest to anyone who thinks seriously about art, as well as to philosophers, aestheticians, and art historians. Danto explores the inextricably linked but often misunderstood relationship between art and philosophy. In light of the book's impact -- especially the essay "The End of Art," which dramatically announced that art ended in the 1960s -- this enhanced edition includes a foreword by Jonathan Gilmore that discusses how scholarship has changed in response to it.
