Description
Catherine M. Soussloff argues that Michel Foucault's sustained engagement with European art history critically addresses present concerns about the mediated nature of the image in the digital age. She explores the meaning of painting for Foucault's philosophy, and for contemporary art theory, proposing a new relevance for a Foucauldian view of ethics and the pleasures and predicaments of contemporary existence.
Foucault on Painting examines how Foucault's insights can be applied to current artistic and philosophical discussions, highlighting the significance of his thought in understanding both historical and modern contexts.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
James Rubin of Stony Brook University praises the book as a "clear, deeply thoughtful, and perfectly written contribution" to the intersection of art and philosophy. CHOICE highlights its thorough engagement with Foucault's philosophy of painting, recommending it to admirers of Foucault and those willing to explore primary sources.
