Who Says That'S Art?: A Commonsense View Of The Visual Arts

The book argues that the "cutting-edge" work championed by today's art establishment worldwide differs so fundamentally from the "fine art" of the past that it does not qualify as "art" at all. Extensive evidence from art history, cross-cultural studies, neuroscience, philosophy, and cognitive psychology is presented in support of that argument. In addition, the author offers an in-depth appreciation of traditional art, including that created by contemporary painters and sculptors virtually ignored by today's critics, curators, and the mass media. The role played by art teachers, collectors, museums, and public officials in promoting today's "pseudo art" is also considered. 9780990605706 0990605701 336 BOOK Art NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=ihrboQEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
