    PAUL CROWTHER

  • THE AESTHETICS OF SELF-BECOMING
    PAUL CROWTHER

  • GENESES OF POSTMODERN ART
    PAUL CROWTHER
    Postmodernism in the visual arts is not just another 'ism.' It emerged in the 1960s as a transformation of artistic creativity inspired by Duchamp's idea that the artwork does not have to be physically made by its creator. Products of mass culture and technology can be used just as well as traditional media. This idea became influential because of a widespread naturalization of...

  • WHAT DRAWING AND PAINTING REALLY MEAN
    PAUL CROWTHER
    There are as many meanings to drawing and painting as there are cultural contexts for them to exist in. But this is not the end of the story. Drawings and paintings are made, and in their making embody unique meanings that transform our perception of space-time and sense of finitude. These meanings have not been addressed by art history or visual studies hitherto, and have only...

  • MEANINGS OF ABSTRACT ART
    PAUL CROWTHER
    Traditional art is based on conventions of resemblance between the work and that which it is a representation "of". Abstract art, in contrast, either adopts alternative modes of visual representation or reconfigures mimetic convention. This book explores the relation of abstract art to nature (taking nature in the broadest sense—the world of recognisable objects, creatures, org...

  • PHILOSOPHY AFTER POSTMODERNISM
    PAUL CROWTHER
    Formulating a new approach to philosophy which, instead of simply rejecting postmodern thought, tries to assimilate some of its main features, Paul Crowther identifies conceptual links between value, knowledge, personal identity and civilization understood as a process of cumulative advance. To establish these links, Crowther deploys a mode of analytic philosophy influenced by ...
