Brilliant, scholarly, and insightful. Linda Johnson has established herself as the leading art historian of our complex relationship with animals. Her work shows how art can enhance as well as denigrate the status of other species. She has opened up a whole new field of artistic endeavour.' - Professor Andrew Linzey, Director of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics, UK This book examines the works of major artists between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, as important barometers of individual and collective values toward non-human life. Once viewed as merely representational, these works can also be read as tangential or morally instrumental by way of formal analysis and critical theories. Chapter Two demonstrates the discrimination toward large and small felines in Genesis and The Book of Revelation. Chapter Three explores the cruel capture of free roaming animals and how artists depicted their furs, feathersand shells in costume as symbols of virtue and vice. Chapter Four identifies speciest beliefs between donkeys and horses. Chapter Five explores the altered Dutch kitchen spaces and disguised food animals in various culinary constructs in still life painting. Chapter Six explores the animal substances embedded in pigments. Chapter Seven examines animals in absentia-in the crafting of brushes. The book concludes with the fish paintings of William Merritt Chase whose glazing techniques demonstrate an artistic approach that honors fishes as sentient beings.The Palgrave Macmillan Animal Ethics Series,2634-6680AestheticsEthicsAnimal welfareMoral and ethical aspectsArtsAestheticsMoral Philosophy and Applied EthicsAnimal EthicsFine ArtAesthetics.Ethics.Animal welfareMoral and ethical aspects.Arts.Aesthetics.Moral Philosophy and Applied Ethics.Animal Ethics.Fine Art.704.9432704.9432Johnson Linda853119MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910502664003321Art, Ethics and the Human-Animal Relationship1905008UNINA
