Description

Explore the evolution of visual art through the lens of one of history's most influential thinkers. Foucault's Philosophy of Art: A Genealogy of Modernity examines how art moved away from its traditional roles to establish its modern identity. Joseph J. Tanke provides a detailed look at Michel Foucault's thoughts on visual culture, connecting his theories to artists spanning from the seventeenth century to the present day. This book offers a clear way to understand Foucault's complex ideas. It specifically focuses on his well-known but often misunderstood studies of famous works, such as Diego Velazquez's Las Meninas and Rene Magritte's Ceci n'est pas une pipe. Whether you are a student of aesthetics or a reader interested in cultural theory, this text provides a necessary guide to how Foucault views the history and function of art in the modern world.

Traces the development of thought from seventeenth-century works to contemporary art.
