In Art as Information Ecology, Jason A. Hoelscher offers not only an information theory of art but an aesthetic theory of information. Applying close readings of the information theories of Claude Shannon and Gilbert Simondon to 1960s American art, Hoelscher proposes that art is information in its aesthetic or indeterminate mode—information oriented less toward answers and resolvability than toward questions, irresolvability, and sustained difference. In this way, art constitutes information that remains in formation---a difference that makes a difference that keeps on differencing.

The central argument of Chromophobia is that a chromophobic impulse—a fear of corruption or contamination through color—lurks within much Western cultural and intellectual thought. This is apparent in the many and varied attempts to purge color, either by making it the property of some foreign body—the oriental, the feminine, the infantile, the vulgar, or the pathological—or by relegating it to the realm of the superficial, the supplementary, the inessential, or the cosmetic.

Many people try to describe their experience when “in the zone” or “in the flow” during the creative process. Some claim that a Greater Power or Divine Guidance assisted them. But, what is this state of consciousness, and how do we replicate it? In search of answers, writer and painter Christopher J. Miller took the suggestion of one of his art mentors to watch and chronicle his creative process.

Responding to many recent calls for redress and restitution, Richardson summarises the historical and current situation and attributes its problematics to the fact that theorists and historians have taken the concept art as a generic that includes both design and craft - which are actually and validly distinguishable from art by application of the concept function/al-or else ignored the two entirely.

Is there such a thing as a timeless classic? More than a decade ago, Rochelle Gurstein set out to explore and establish a solid foundation for the classic in the history of taste. To her surprise, that history instead revealed repeated episodes of soaring and falling reputations, rediscoveries of long-forgotten artists, and radical shifts in the canon, all of which went so completely against common knowledge that it was hard to believe it was true.

Two men of singular qualities and accomplishments played key roles in the Met’s transformation—J. P. Morgan, America’s leading financier and a prominent art collector, and Roger Fry, the headstrong English expert in art history who served as the Met’s curator of painting.

전시회에 가는 것을 좋아하는 사람들은 많지만, 미술 작품을 구매해 재테크를 하는 사람은 드물다. 보통 미술 투자는 부자들의 전유물이라는 고정관념이 있기 때문이다. 『나는 샤넬백 대신 그림을 산다』를 출간한 저자 윤보형은 미술 투자인 '아트테크'야말로 주식과 부동산보다 보통의 사람들에게 적합한 재테크라고 말한다.

Ya hemos afirmado en distintos capítulos que el arte gótico es el estilo de la clase burguesa de la Baja Edad Media. Sin embargo, en España no hubo una verdadera burguesía más que en Cataluña y Levante. En los reinos centrales la aristocracia y las Ordenes monásticas monopolizaron la casi...
