Description

Foucault's Philosophy of Art: A Genealogy of Modernity provides a comprehensive exploration of Michel Foucault's influential theories on visual art and aesthetic modernism. Author Joseph J. Tanke traces Foucault's philosophical engagement with artists spanning from the seventeenth century to contemporary works, offering readers an accessible pathway through complex theoretical terrain. The book delivers in-depth analysis of Foucault's most celebrated yet frequently misunderstood examinations of Diego Velazquez's Las Meninas and Rene Magritte's Ceci n'est pas une pipe, illuminating how these canonical artworks shaped modern aesthetic philosophy. Published by Bloomsbury as part of the Philosophy, Aesthetics and Cultural Theory series, this volume bridges scholarly rigour with readability, making it essential for art historians, philosophy students, and anyone seeking to understand how contemporary art emerged from traditional artistic conventions.

Key Features

Foucault's Philosophy of Art examines Michel Foucault's complete body of work on visual art and aesthetic theory across multiple centuries.

The book includes detailed analysis of two seminal artworks: Diego Velazquez's Las Meninas and Rene Magritte's Ceci n'est pas une pipe.

Joseph J. Tanke presents complex Foucauldian philosophy in a concise, accessible format suitable for both scholars and introductory readers.

Published by Bloomsbury as part of the Philosophy, Aesthetics and Cultural Theory series, positioning it within contemporary academic discourse on art criticism.

The genealogical approach traces how modern art developed by abandoning its traditional social and cultural functions.
