{"product_id":"arthur-coleman-danto-dante-transfiguration-commonplace-9780674903456","title":"Dante: Transfiguration Commonplace","description":"\u003cp\u003e Mr. Danto argues that recent developments in the artworld, in particular the production of works of art that cannot be told from ordinary things, make urgent the need for a new theory of art and make plain the factors such a theory can and cannot involve. In the course of constructing such a theory, he seeks to demonstrate the relationship between philosophy and art, as well as the connections that hold between art and social institutions and art history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The book distinguishes what belongs to artistic theory from what has traditionally been confused with it, namely aesthetic theory and offers as well a systematic account of metaphor, expression, and style, together with an original account of artistic representation. A wealth of examples, drawn especially from recent and contemporary art, illuminate the argument. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53840641687894,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/arthur-coleman-danto-dante-transfiguration-commonplace-9780674903456","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
